Stories from Our Yarn Producers
Here at The Woolly Thistle we encourage woolly wanderlust and share information about where the wool was grown and milled. We specialize in finding yarn made at the source whether that be on wild Scottish islands, or in the bucolic Devon countryside. We are passionate about yarns with a story!
WoolDreamers
Ramón and his team at WoolDreamers has reclaimed the use of Spanish Wool. We are delighted to support this worthy cause by bringing you the beautiful and natural yarns made from Spanish Manchego and Merino sheep.
Studio Donegal
Studio Donegal began its life as an idealistic project to preserve the tradition of hand weaving. Tristan and Anne are now the second generation, running the family business bringing us 100% Irish-made wool products.
Woolly Mammoth Fibre Co
Woolly Mammoth Fibre Co is the essence of small batch yarns. Emma sources yarn close to her home in Northern Ireland and naturally dyes it with great care for her surroundings and her yarns.
