Welcome to FarmToFibre, where passion meets tradition in the heart of our small sheep farm. Nestled in good ole' Yorkshire, our farm is a labour of love, With a deep-rooted commitment to quality and sustainability, we take pride in every step of the journey from sheep to skein.
At FarmToFibre, our wool journey begins with the care and welfare of our beloved sheep. Our flock enjoys a life of comfort and contentment, roaming freely across lush green fields and enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. When it comes time for shearing, we prioritize the health and well-being of our sheep, ensuring a stress-free and gentle process.
Once the wool is sheared, it embarks on a transformative journey from fleece to fibre. Our skilled team (just me- the wool woman and my husband-the sheep man) meticulously sort and clean the wool, removing as many impurities as we can and preparing it for the spinning process. Using traditional techniques , I hand prepare and hand spin the wool into luxurious yarns of varying weights and textures, ready to inspire the creativity of crafters around the world.
Crafting with Our Wool: From cozy scarves to intricate afghans, the possibilities are endless when it comes to crafting with our wool. Our yarns are prized for their softness, durability, and vibrant colours, making them the perfect choice for knitting, crocheting, weaving, and more. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or just starting out, our wool supplies provide endless inspiration for your next project.
Looking for ideas? Consider trying your hand at a classic cable knit sweater, a whimsical pair of socks, or a statement-making shawl. Our wool is also ideal for felting, allowing you to create unique and textured pieces that showcase your creativity.
At FarmToFibre, quality and sustainability are at the heart of everything we do. By supporting our farm, you're not just purchasing yarn – you're investing in a tradition of craftsmanship and stewardship that spans generations.
As a small family-owned farm, we cherish our connection to the crafting community.
