Emma of The Grey Sheep Co. says, “Our aim is to demonstrate that exceptional knitting yarns can be produced from a caring and ethical farm, that invests in the landscape, biodiversity and care of its animals. … Each animal is treated as an individual with no flockwide use of antibiotics. The lambs are left on the ewes to self wean meaning that the lambs are not stressed and consequently are stronger and more resilient to illness. Our goal is to prove that we can produce awesome yarn, but not at the expense of our animals and our land.” Yarns is available on the site and through shops in the US, UK, EU, Canada and Japan.
