Dye & Spinning Studio

Woolly Mammoth

A large majority of these wools are British or rare breeds and are all dyed with natural dyes. Many of Emma's natural dyes are foraged from her local area or home grown in the garden

Woolly Mammoth wool is naturally dyed

I use breed-specific, high-quality, non-superwash yarns sourced and spun in the UK for dyeing. A large majority of these wools are British or rare breeds and are all dyed with natural dyes.  Many of my natural dyes are foraged from my local area or home grown in the garden. Sometimes I like to use kitchen waste to dye too. My colour inspiration comes mainly from walks in the quiet Irish landscape, stories of epic adventures or sometimes old books and poetry. 

The Founder

Emma Robinson

I get excited about woolly wool, natural colours and the outdoors! I am an avid knitter, dyer and spinner and a lot of my time revolves around these activities.

In my ‘normal’ life I am an architectural photographer, and in 2017 I decided that I wanted to spend more creative time off-screen.

Since then I have been making more with my hands and I get great satisfaction from this. I love unusual or interesting sheep breeds, and I’m an advocate for local farm yarn!
