Shepley Yarns
The high-quality wool used in our yarn comes from sheep that roam freely on the fells and downs of the British Isles. Sheep are shorn annually in the spring months and the fleece is then sent to the British Wool Board where it is hand-graded to ensure it meets the highest standards of quality assurance. This process considers the wool’s handle, micron, colour, staple length, and strength.
British wool is extremely versatile and displays several unique characteristics. Its natural crimp and elasticity remain within the fibres despite constant wear, whilst its ability to trap air makes it a great insulator. If treated correctly, this high-quality material will reward the wearer with many years of comfort.
