Read More About Our British Wool
Responsibly Sourced and Sustainable
The wool used in our British Wool dog jumper range comes from sheep that roam freely on the fells and downs of the British Isles. These sheep thrive on a simple blend of grass, water, fresh air, and sunshine. Each spring, they are sheared - a necessary practice for their health and comfort, preventing infections such as blowfly strike and keeping them cool in the summer.
At a time of increasing concern about the future of our planet and the depletion of its resources, using naturally occurring materials like pure wool is essential. This high-quality wool, when treated correctly, offers many years of comfort and warmth. Moreover, at the end of its lifecycle, it is fully degradable, making it an ideal sustainable and environmentally friendly choice.
A Heritage of Quality: Shepley Yarns
Our luxurious dog jumpers are crafted from fine worsted yarn provided by Shepley Yarns, a family-owned business rooted in Saddleworth, nestled in the heart of the Pennine hills. The name Shepley is derived from Old English, meaning "the shepherds' valley," a fitting tribute to the region's rich history in wool production. With 200 years of experience, Shepley Yarns combines age-old techniques with a passion for sustainable, renewable fibres.
Celebrating Natural Qualities
Our yarn range also celebrates the natural qualities of pure wool by including un-dyed colours. These colours are spun using the original shades of British wool pure breeds, adding a touch of authenticity and natural beauty to each dog jumper.
