West Yorkshire Spinners - Wool Revival DK
£5.50
80% Recycled British Wool | 20% Recycled Nylon
DK | 100g | 225m
Each year West Yorkshire Spinners process thousands of kilos of British wool; every spin leaves an excess amount of material that would usually wind up as ‘waste’. We love our wool, and we don’t like waste! So, WYS has given it the revival it deserves.
They start by collecting all this valuable and perfectly good fibre which is gathered after each clean down of their spinning frames. Next, they send it to the local production partner to card, comb and convert back into tops before it arrives back at the WYS mill for spinning. This spun yarn then heads out again to be dyed locally, and once dyed, it’s back to WYS for finishing, balling and packing. Sustainability is at the heart of everything they do, and all of this takes place within a 10-mile radius – something which West Yorkshire Spinners are extremely proud of.
Join us on our Wool Revival and save wool from waste.
