Pierrepont Hicks

All Swans Island Company goods begin with natural fibers, sourced to the highest possible standard.

Much of their fiber comes from local New England farms, domestic, family-run farms that have been caring for their flocks for generations. Many of the yarns are dyed using naturally derived pigments like cochineal, indigo, and madder root. Others are skein-dyed with low-impact dyes to achieve singular depth of color while also reducing water and energy usage and offering unique qualities to the discerning knitter, like machine washability. They make each dye bath with their own custom recipes, expertly working the fibers in order to achieve signature rich, variegated tones.
