Why we love West Yorkshire Spinners

Beginnings

West Yorkshire Spinners was founded in 1997 in Yorkshire, the original home of the British worsted spinning industry. Setting up a spinning mill from the ground up was daunting, but with hard work and a determination to succeed, they built a strong reputation for high-quality natural-fibre yarns. By 2012, they launched their own yarn – Fleece 100% Bluefaced Leicester – to help champion British wool and its fascinating heritage. Working closely with farmers and wool merchants, they started to build a range of unique and innovative products that showcased what could be achieved by blending British wool and manufacturing ingenuity.

Always Innovative

When creating natural-fibre yarns, they carefully combine traditional skills with state-of-the-art technology to ensure they're always one step ahead. From the finest and purest breed-specific fleece to delicate Mulberry silk, sustainable British alpaca and natural plant fibres, the materials inspire everything they do and each process is crafted by their in- house creative team, around the unique characteristics of the fibre and blend. This care and attention also extends into dyeing and they work with local dyers and their in-house dye plant to ensure quality and consistency.

Animal & Environment Friendly

Extolling the virtues of British wool is important, but they also know it’s crucial to provide a complete – and fully transparent – story for people who want to craft with the highest-quality fibres. They prioritise traceability, being socially responsible and all of their wools are non-mulesed, ensuring the best welfare for the sheep who grow their wool!
