We offer various stock service collections which eliminates the requirement for minimum order quantities. However we are also able to produce any customer’s own shades in all our qualities.
LAMBSWOOL
Most of our Lambswool , is shipped from Australia, and comes from the Merino breed of sheep. Merinos’ have been specially bred to produce the softest and finest wool. Lambswool is wool from the first shearing of the animal.
We also have a new range of lambswool which is 100% sourced from Great Britain. The UK has over 60 breeds of sheep, all with different fibre lengths, textures and widths, so it took a while and many trials for us to find the right one to produce the best yarn for our customers. Using home grown wool is a new challenge but as it greatly reduces our carbon footprint it is important we persevere while it also benefits local farmers and the environment.
WHY WOOL?
Wool can be recycled; it is compostable, biodegradable and naturally renewable, making it friendly to the environment. It makes a fabric that can breathe, is elastic, gives natural odour control, warms us when we are cold and cools us when we overheat. Wool is also naturally fire retardant. These qualities give wool a wide and diverse range of uses.

Cashmere
2/28NM CASHMERE
RANGE: 160 STOCK SERVICE SHADES
Our 2/28nm cashmere yarn has the finest handle, with a silky softness that can only be achieved by having a carefully controlled environment, as the finest fibre is teased into a yarn. Great care is taken so we do not lose any of the amazing natural handle that only cashmere can give. It produces a light garment, which looks refined but still gives warmth and comfort.
Our wide range of colours features solids, mixtures and marls. New colours are introduced every June.
2/17 Cashmere
Range – 30 Stock Shades
Our thicker 2/17nm cashmere gives a chunkier knit that is the ultimate in opulence. It has a deep softness that is full of body.
1/15NM SUPER GEELONG LAMBSWOOL
RANGE: 80 STOCK SERVICE SHADES
Our 1/15nm super Geelong lambswool has all the attributes of our 2/17NM lambswool range, but being a single yarn, it produces lighter, more refined fabric. This very fine lambswool fibre is sourced from Geelong in Australia and is an authentic super Geelong lambswool.
The range is changed every June to add the new seasons colours.
1/16NM AND 2/16NM GEELONGORA
RANGE: 80 STOCK SERVICE SHADES
The composition of this yarn is 75% lambswool and 25% angora. We use a shorter angora so that it doesn’t shed out from the garment. The lambswool gives durability and structure, whilst the angora gives an even greater softness and a silky feel. Fabric made of this product has a fluffy textured pile.
We use only the finest angora, and this is obtained within the caregora scheme. Caregora ensures complete traceability and only sources fibre from responsible rabbit breeders. The animals are treated with respect and the angora is gathered humanely by shearing. Caregora complies with very strict animal welfare codes, so customers can purchase geelongora safe in the knowledge that no rabbits were harmed in the process.
2/11NM BRITISH WOOL
RANGE: 20 STOCK SERVICE SHADES
After extensive trials we are proud to introduce our 2/11nm 100% British wool. We tested different types of British wool, from all over the country to find the correct breed and blend for us to produce the softest handle possible. Being a British company and using British wool makes sense.
This stock service range will be available in the summer of 2020.
2/31NM WHITE ROSE
RANGE: 80 STOCK SERVICE SHADES
The composition of this yarn is 54% cashmere and 46% cotton.
The cotton is the core of the yarn, giving great strength and durability, whilst the cashmere gives an amazing soft handle. It is difficult to tell the difference in handle from pure cashmere. Our range of shades is produced by twisting single cotton with 1/28nm cashmere, so bespoke colours are achievable.
Camel Hair
2/15.5 CAMEL HAIR
RANGE: 15 STOCK SHADES
Only hair from the underside of the camel is used in making our camel hair. This fibre gives a soft, warm yarn with plenty of body. This robust fibre makes the warmest and most durable of knitted garments.
Our range has raw camel hair in 3 different colours: natural, blonde and the 2 marled together. The other 12 stock shades are dyed classic colours.
