We work in harmony with the local people and the environment and support and promote natural fibres. The craft of hand spinning yarns, dyeing, knitting and crocheting sets us apart from the technology of mass production. There is perfection in our ‘imperfections’as each piece is custom made and buyers are assured that our hand-knitted yarns, home and fashion accessories will differ from anyone else’s.

In a world where very little is still MADE BY HAND, we are blessed to walk the journey of transforming sought-after natural fibres like Mohair, Wool, Silk and Alpaca, into yarns with interesting colours and textures – all the while adding value to the lives of the people involved in the process. We are governed by the skills we have immediately available in our surroundings and we support local businesses. We source magnificent quality Mohair and Wool grown in the Karoo region which is a dry, inland plateau in the central region of South Africa. Here the Angora goats roam freely on vast tracks of land and are shorn twice a year. South Africa is the epicentre of the global Mohair industry. It is important that we locally beneficiate the fibre and export worldwide. We are passionate about managing waste so we rework the ends of dye lots and spin the fluff from brushed blankets back into yarns. We create brilliantly-coloured recycled yarns by incorporating banana fibres which have been recycled from the plants and not burned as was done in the past. We also use the ends of Silk dyed for the manufacture of saris. In applying this concept, we create more jobs and supply unique yarns for hand knitters around the world.

Our dyeing methods are simple, shunning all chemicals except vinegar. The farm is located near the sea and crushed shells make the soil alkali. When we release grey water into the soil, it is neutralised.
