The hand dyed wool used for our bears is chosen for its unique and bespoke colour combinations.

Two of our favourite yarns are “The Croft – Shetland tweed wool” produced from 100% Shetland Island wool, this world renowned fleece is hand dyed and produces a stunning and unique yarn and each of the colourways are named after a location on the Shetland Islands and reflect the beauty and rich landscape.

We also use Westcountry Tweed, a lovely slightly felted tweedy yarn. The fibre for this is very special – the base is from a Shetland ewe crossed with either a Teeswater or Romney ram, so it is very soft and lustrous and all from a single farm in the Mendip Hills of Somerset, combined with a little Black Welsh Mountain wool from a small flock in Devon. These wools are blended to a subtle heathered pale grey, scoured together and then dyed before carding. A scattering of coloured neps (tiny balls of wool dyed in many colours) are added to the carded fibre before spinning. The coloured shades reflect the moorland landscape.
