The Cotswold hills or ‘wolds’ were named after the local breed of sheep and the pens or ‘cots’ they were kept in. The wealth these sheep created for the area was based on their reputation as luxury wool during the medieval times. The beautiful churches, manor houses, villages and towns exist purely because of Cotswold wool. Sadly this wool, once revered by kings and noblemen around the world, comes from the rare breed Cotswold ‘Lion’ sheep and large scale production no longer exists. Wool is sustainable, biodegradable and environmentally friendly. We want to make beautiful blended yarns made with wool from the Cotswold breed in order to help revive and regenerate the Cotswold wool industry. We work with local wool growers, producers, shepherds and farmers to promote other locally produced fibres. Heritage is at the heart of what we do.

With a background in education it is a passion to deliver bespoke one on one tuition to a select few clients throughout the Cotswolds. Nothing gives greater joy than watching someone grasp the four simple stitches that enable any item to be knitted. From £10 per hour per person.

We love delivering workshops and have delivered workshops successfully for Soho House several times. In 2019 we will be running our own workshops at locations throughout the Cotswolds and can create bespoke three hour knitting parties for up to eight guests from £10 per hour per person. This includes a kit which has knitting needles, chunky wool and an easy to read pattern.
