The Complete Captain’s Log

Just Landed! Our second yarn from By Laxtons is here from across the seas. SheepSoft Fibreknit is created at the Laxtons mill using a specialized setting on their yarn machine that takes parallel fibres and knits them into a chainette, an airy yet durable structure. This construction also helps reduce pilling, which makes it ideal for a wide range of creations from home to garments. Swipe to see what patterns we are exploring for this new yarn!

It’s here! Just Landed from across the seas - By Laxtons Wooltrace. Each skein features a QR code where you can trace the yarn in your hands directly back to the farm it came from via their FarmFinder site. This yarn supports the ongoing sustainability of the British farming industry, guaranteeing fair pay for sheep farmers and ensuring the welfare of their flocks. Wooltrace is a DK weight, available in 16 colors. This special yarn is in store only at the moment.

This season, you can expect to see more traceable yarns from us here at fibre space. We want to put some amazing fibres from special places directly into your hands while also connecting you with the animals that provided it.

I am so excited to partner with @bylaxtons to bring you British Wools, fully traceable back to the farms they originated from. Laxtons has a rich history in wool & textiles, starting in 1907. They`ve weathered many social and economic changes over the decades, preserving the traditional skills that celebrate their proud heritage and combining them with state-of-the-art technology that allows them to bring full circle the lifecycle of their yarn. I can’t wait to show you what we have coming from this West Yorkshire mill! Stay tuned for more!
