On Tristan da Cunha, sheep grazing around the island provide more than food and farming traditions — their wool is carefully turned into yarn by Islanders themselves.
The wool is sheared from Tristan sheep, then carded and spun by members of the island community. Each skein carries a little of Tristan’s character, from the natural colours of the wool to the hands and traditional skills involved in preparing it on one of the world’s most remote inhabited islands.
Available in Black, Grey, Brown, White and Salt and Pepper, the wool is ready for you to turn into your own knitted garments and handmade creations. As a natural product, colours and textures may vary slightly from skein to skein.
Your wool travels all the way from Tristan da Cunha across the South Atlantic to your door — ready for its next chapter in your hands.
