THE PENNINE COLLECTION
100% PURE NEW WOOL
STOCK SERVICE
This original palette of fine worsted yarn is brought to you by Shepley Yarns, a family-owned business based in Saddleworth in the heart of the Pennine hills. Our family name is derived from Old English - meaning ‘the shepherds’ valley - and we pride ourselves on our ability to combine 200 years of age-old techniques and experience in the wool industry with our passion for sustainable, renewable fibres.
The responsibly sourced wool used in our luxurious yarn comes from sheep that roam freely on the fells and downs of the British Isles and thrive on a simple blend of grass, water, fresh air and sunshine. Every year they are sheared in the Spring months - an essential part of good farming husbandry - which helps rid them of potentially damaging infections such as blowfly strike and keeps them cool during the summer months.
At a time of increasing concern about the future of our planet and the exhaustion of its resources, it is vital that we use naturally occurring materials such as pure wool. If correctly treated, this high quality material will reward the wearer with many years of comfort - and at the end if its lifetime it is fully degradable making it an ideal sustainable and environmentally friendly product. For more information on the steps we have taken towards a more sustainable product, please click here.
To celebrate the natural qualities of our pure wool, our yarn range also includes natural undyed colours, spun using the original colours of British wool pure breeds.
