Angus McColl is recognized as a legendary figure in the American wool industry. As co-founder of Yocom-McColl Testing Laboratories in Denver, Colorado, he helped to pioneer the development of modern animal fiber testing in a storied career spanning over five decades.
We were honored to interview Mr. McColl in
July of 2019 about his work with wool.

At Brooklyn Tweed we are passionate about wool, knitting and design.
We develop and manufacture breed-specific wool yarns that support domestic textile production. This means designing, sourcing, dyeing and spinning our yarns 100% within the USA.
We craft our knitwear designs with the same commitment to timeless quality that we apply to our yarns. Every pattern is meticulously drafted and edited to provide clear instructions that empower knitters to build new skills. Our design team explores the intersection of knitting traditions and contemporary style, to produce patterns that are a pleasure to knit and wear.
