Ever wonder how wool is transformed from greasy fleece to the lovely, soft and clean fluffy fibre, like that which goes into our Real Shetland Wool yarns?
See the early stages of wool processing at Haworth Scouring and Combing, based in Bradford (West Yorkshire) - the world's most eco-friendly and efficient scouring facility of its type.
All of our Real Shetland Wool is scoured here. In our opinion, there's nowhere better for it to go in the UK.
With thanks to Haworth Scouring for letting us film the facility.
