Do you know about Swans Island? We are thrilled to be working with the great folks at Swans on a project coming out in the coming months.
From their site: All Swans Island Company goods begin with natural fibers, sourced to the highest possible standard.
Much of our fiber comes from local New England farms, domestic, family-run farms that have been caring for their flocks for generations. Our organic merino, sourced from South America, has been certified organic by the Global Organic Textile Standard, the world’s leading processing standard for textiles made from organic fibers. Fleece from those farms is custom spun for us by New England mills on trusty vintage machinery. From there, every skein of Swans Island yarn – whether destined for our hand looms, our partners at domestic knitting mills, or your knitting needles – is dyed by hand in our Northport dye house. This allows us to create uniquely saturated colorways that can’t be achieved in large-scale dye lots.
