West Yorkshire Spinners
Honest British wool with a modern heart.
West Yorkshire Spinners (WYS) is a brand based in the historic heart of the British textile industry - Keighley, Yorkshire. Here the wool is not only spun, but also dyed, wound and proudly referred to as "British from start to finish". Their yarns come mainly from British sheep breeds - mainly Bluefaced Leicester and Shetland - and the brand is based on a minimum carbon footprint, transparency and an ethical approach to production.
WYS offers traditional fibers in a modern dress - beautifully mottled sock yarns (e.g. the iconic Signature 4ply), delicate blends with alpaca or exclusive limited editions inspired by British nature. Their designer collections are often created in collaboration with knitters and designers - and the result is not only exceptional colors, but also practical and beautifully wearable projects. The yarns of this brand are known for high stability, softness and excellent durability.
WYS is the choice for those who appreciate honest origins, high quality and aesthetics, which combines tradition with a new perspective on wool. It is a wool with character – strong, beautiful and ready to create stories in every stitch.
