The planet has limited resources. It is our job to play our part in looking after it.
We’re working to build a business that is sustainable in the long term. We want to be part of people’s lives for a long, long time. We want you, our customers, to keep on coming back to us. We want you to love our pieces. And we want to ensure that everything and everyone in our supply chain, from the soil and sheep to our suppliers are happy too.
We're a small brand, and as we grow, we want to help the world grow back. To create things in a regenerative way to make the world better.
We're a Certified B Corporation®

The Daily Telegraph
Getting out in nature - we all know that it can improve your mood, make you feel relaxed and generally feel better about everything.
So when it comes to what you put on your skin too, we believe that keeping things natural is best.
Garments from the ground up.
Our makers & creators
While we might only be a few years old, we're committed to working with experts with a lifetime's experience to create the best jumpers.
80% of our pieces are made within the British Isles, with the rest in Portugal.
Our principle wool spinners are in Scotland and Yorkshire, with a small amount of wool spinning in Italy.
We work with those British and European suppliers that are committed to continuous improvement in manufacturing.
Our Scottish mill, Todd & Duncan, for instance have a pioneering cyclical process so that the water used for washing and dyeing the wool can be cleaned and purified so that it can be returned to Loch Leven.
Our Scottish weaver, Prickly Thistle, is a B CORP and made our blankets on century old looms powered by green energy.
Locally grown
As a British brand, we're committed to creating a number of knits with British Wool - sourced from British farms - spun and made within the British Isles. We're delighted to work with a host of organisations including British Wool, Campaign for Wool as well as Mills in Yorkshire to celebrate the beauty of the locally-grown.

Always learning
Whether it's working with expert knitters to tweak the knitting techniques to help increase longevity (not all knitters are equal) and decrease pilling, listening to customer feedback on how to make a jumper even more versatile, being a truly sustainable business is a journey.
From better dyeing techniques, to sourcing and even developing new yarns, to using packaging with less impact and reducing our carbon footprint, we never settle.
No one is perfect, but we'll give all we can to be the best at what we do. Sign up to our newsletter to keep up to date with what we're up to.

A small team of great women
Our story began with one tiny garden studio made from sustainable cedar wood with a green living roof .
While we do sometimes work from there, we have a slightly bigger team, still led by Founder Rachel. A formidable team of excellent women.
Thank you Jen, Bex, Sarah L, Sarah M, Alison, Holly, Lottie and Moira*.
*That's mum - whose 25 year old jumper is the reason we're here.
