WE NEED EWE!
We are always on the search for fleece. We thrive on variety and our customers love the incredible range of natural texture and colour to be found in British fleeces. Register your flock now, or read more
HOW IT WORKS
If you choose to partner with us we will collect your fleece by appointment. We pay an advance fee per kg of fleece collected.
Next, we will process your fleece into beautiful yarn and other products, not wasting a single, useable scrap. The products will be listed in our shop, sold at events and potentially through other outlets.
​
As the items sell, we calculate our profits and you will receive 10% of this after your advance earns out. This will be paid as a quarterly or annual remittance.*
​
Calculating a retail price is difficult as fleece can vary widely in quality and the suitability for premium products is breed-dependent. We are able to provide a more specific estimate on enquiry, but the actual figures will still be subject to change, depending on the quality, age, and size of the fleeces we receive.
​
As production progresses and we begin to process your fleeces, we will update you on the status and provide up to date financials at these intervals.

Example illustration:
​
We collect 50kg raw fleece from our supplier. We pay a deposit of £0.50 per kg.
After processing and over time as the products sell, we estimate the profit to the breeder at a value of around £400. That works out to around £8 per kilo*.
*This estimate is for illustration purposes only. Around 50% of the fleece weight is lost during processing. The total value will be accrued over time, depending on how fast the inventory sells. The figure quoted will be based on our estimate of RRP, and is therefore subject to change. We reserve the right to discount and package products. You will always receive 10% of all profits we make from your fleece.
Spin A YARN
As part of our collective, you can help us reach customers by sharing our posts on social media, and links to the products from your flock.
We would love to reciprocate by blogging and posting about your flock, shining the spotlight your farm* and flock. We are keen advocates of British farming, food sovereignty and sustainability.
By weaving the stories of real people and their livelihoods into our communications we hope to raise awareness and rekindle a pride in traditional skills.
