Origin of fibers

We dye various yarn bases that come from both Finland and abroad. We hand wash, dye, girdle and finish the yarns in a small dyeing room attached to our shop. We source our base yarns from overseas from a high-quality spinning mill in the UK, who work with their suppliers to ensure that the fibres come from the best possible places, where animals and workers are treated well.
