Cornish Organic Wool Launches Certified Colour Range
Having worked with the Soil Association on this for the last two years, we have at last been certified and are ready to introduce our first certified range of colours.
Initially we have introduced the colour range in standard DK weight as this is the most popular yarn. We are currently hand dyeing wool from Bosigran Farm in Zennor. All this process takes place in Cornwall so we continue to keep our eco foot print down to a minimum.
