What is TRACE YOUR YARN?

“Where does my yarn come from?“ Perhaps you have asked yourself this before? 
The story of the origin of a ball of wool is a very long one, so much has to be done before you can hold it in your hand. With TRACE YOUR YARN, we offer you the opportunity to follow selected yarns right back to the farm and herd of origin. Learn more about the history of the fibres, and something of the different processes that the yarns pass through.

How does TRACE YOUR YARN work?

On the label of some of our balls of wool you will find the TRACE YOUR YARN logo, together with a QR-Code. If you scan the code with your mobile phone, you will be taken to our TRACE YOUR YARN website. There you can enter the product number and name, and the lot number of your wool in the fields provided. Click on the search icon and select your item. Now you will be shown information about the farm of origin, the animals, the shearing and processes required to finish the yarn.

Which yarns are TRACEABLE?

Some of our finest yarns belong to our TRACE YOUR YARN programme, such as MOHAIR 21, LAMBSWOOL and the NOBLE YARNS. 
You can also trace some of our sock qualities back to their origin. Try scanning the label of your SUPER SOXX or TWIN SOXX yarn. 
If you explore the tracing process for ATLANTIS, POSEIDON, RAW #13 and RAW #14 you can learn about the shearing of Corriedale sheep in Patagonia.
