This is the kind of fibre that is rooted in a place as much as a breed. Sourced from a small flock grazing beneath the watchful silhouette of Glastonbury Tor, this beautiful Portland wool carries with it a sense of landscape, history, and tradition that is woven into every strand.
One of Britain's oldest native breeds, Portland sheep are treasured for their distinctive character and remarkably versatile fleece. Soft yet durable, with a gentle spring and beautiful natural handle, Portland creates yarns that are full of life and character while remaining wonderfully practical for everyday use.
After shearing, the fleece travelled to a small family-run mill where it was washed, carded, and prepared with the care and attention that only small-scale processing can provide. Gentle handling preserves the fibre's natural qualities, resulting in a beautifully lofty sliver that drafts smoothly and spins into yarn with depth, texture, and personality.
Rooted in place — sourced from sheep grazing in the shadow of Glastonbury Tor, one of Britain's most iconic landscapes.
Small-mill craftsmanship — carefully processed to retain the fleece's natural character, bounce, and spinning qualities.
Historic British wool — Portland is one of our oldest native breeds, valued for its distinctive fleece and wonderful versatility.
Limited batches — each run captures the character of a particular flock, season, and landscape, making every 100g uniquely special.
This is fibre with a real sense of origin. From pastures overlooking the Somerset Levels to the hands of a skilled spinner, every stage of its journey reflects the quiet artistry of British wool production. Whether destined for heirloom garments, everyday knits, or simply the pleasure of spinning itself, this sliver offers a connection to both place and tradition that is increasingly rare to find.
As with all natural wool from sheep living happily outdoors, you may occasionally find small traces of vegetable matter or straw. These tiny reminders of life in the fields are part of the charm of working with authentic, minimally processed fibre.
