Following a desire to create something beautiful from top quality Yorkshire Dales wool, I began to source fleece from local farms in 2008.  By 2009 I had produced my first batch of blankets.  They were woven on a vintage loom at Farfield Mill in Sedbergh and the sense of accomplishment was huge.  It was a steep learning curve.  At that time wool was being burned all over the country and the wool price was at rock bottom.  I learned what to do by visiting scouring, spinning, weaving and cloth finishing mills across the north. I made friends with more farmers, collected more wool, made more yarn and now I’m running a successful little business.  My aim was always and still is to create the highest quality products from locally sourced wool.  I wanted to show that British wool is more than good enough for beautiful scarves and blankets.  Keeping processing and production within as tight a geographic circle as possible, and as environmentally friendly as possible, was a major goal right from the start.  Promoting the amazing area in which I live and work and giving back to my community is also very important to me.
