The Process We pay attention to the sheep’s needs at all times, making sure they are looked after to the best of our ability here on Trevayne Farm, Monkstone. We shear on a yearly basis, with experienced local shearers to ensure a good quality fleece. The fleeces are then bundled based on breed and sent to be washed and spun. We design accordingly, based on the amount of wool we get from the breeds in our flock. We tend to get 5-8 kilos per sheep, our ram, Rambo, had a fleece of 7 kilos last shearing. After the washing and spinning process, which usually takes around 2 months, we divide the kilos of wool. We divide it into oiled on-cone, washed on-cone (for machine-knitting or weaving) and hand-knitting skeins. The yarns are then sent to our highly skilled knitters and weavers to be made through traditional craft methods into long-lasting goods. Our manufacturing methods always consider the lowest environmental impact achievable and we are always striving to make this better. From shear to wear, the process takes around four months. It’s slow production, we believe slow is best.
