We are passionate about British Wool. And we are on a mission to encourage people far and wide to consider the sheep, the farmer, British industry and the environment when crafting.
All of our yarn is hand dyed in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Of course, Stratford is where William Shakespeare was born, where he married Ann Hathaway and their children, Susanna, Judith, and Hamnet were born.
We chose to present our Shakespearian heritage in our yarns in the hope that they hark back to a bygone age.
With careful consideration to how we source and produce our yarns, you won’t find harsh chemicals or colours, you will find soft pallets developed with Shakespearean characters in mind.
Shakespeare was a poet, playwright and actor. He produced many of our most famous plays.
Many of the houses connected to William Shakespeare and his family are located in Stratford and the surrounding villages, some of which are open to the public. See the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust for more information.
We love the theatre in Stratford. We are home to the Royal Shakespeare Company who perform many plays at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and The Swan Theatre. See the Royal Shakespeare Company for more information.
We hope that the shades of A Midsummers Night, The Tempest, A Comedy of Errors and many more will take you on an journey of imagination as you enjoy your craft.
We look forward to developing many colours inspired by Shakespeare’s plays and poems over time. In the mean time enjoy what we have.
