This super soft, sustainable yarn straight from the heart of London’s city farms is a delight to knit with.

By purchasing this yarn, you’re not just treating yourself, but you’re also directly supporting the hardworking farmers who care for the sheep and produce this wonderful yarn as most of the proceeds go towards funding their charitable organisations, ensuring that your creativity helps to make a real difference in your community.

Together, we can knit a brighter future for London’s city farms!

London has 14 registered city farms and most own sheep, each year these sheep are sheared, producing over a ton of fleece much of it being of top quality. Unfortunately, most of this ends up as waste since these farms are too small to make it commercially viable to deliver into the Wool Board. Wool is a wonder fibre which has been used for thousands of years to keep us warm, it is 100% biodegradable and has the possibility to replace synthetic fibres that take 500 years to bio-degrade as well as produce 10’s of thousands of micro fibres.

The fleece was collected from London and Greater London city farms and the wool was washed and spun in Yorkshire, using the oldest and the most experienced factories or wool processing and spinning.
