RESPONSIBILY SOURCED WOOL, NATURALLY HAND DYED - Annabel Williams

Mock ups from our Heritage jumper

Bristol based yarn supplier Annabel Williams prides herself on producing naturally hand dyed, traceable yarns for environmentally conscious crafters. A trained weaver and expert in natural dying - this field of craft lends itself to a small and slow scale. Driven by the desire only to produce sustainably dyed wool with minimal environmental impact and supporting independent suppliers and British mills we knew this would be a match made in heaven.

Working only with shepherds who practice high welfare farming, Annabel is able to provide beautiful wool which is kind to the planet and animal welfare. Supporting British spinning mills who work passionately to keep the industry here alive.

Natural Dyes

Traceability, all of Annabel’s yarns are breed specific, sourced from farms which go above and beyond caring for their flocks with the best possible practice. When we purchased our yarn, we were given the location where it comes from, the farms and even the date of shearing, how its made and what processes it has had through its journey.

All of the yarns we are working with are from the Falklands, 100% organic merino, hand dyed by Annabel in her studio in Bristol using Avocado and Madder. This yarn has a beautiful character, with occasional slub which add to the unique texture. Not to mention it is dreamily soft. The natural dying process give the yarn a slight varigating shade, slight tones of colour which once knitted, look rich and luxurious.
