Our Yarn Bases
At Blewbury Yarns, every skein starts with responsibly sourced, ethically produced fibres. We hand-dye undyed yarn bases from a UK supplier with over 70 years of experience in the wool trade and sustainable yarn production. They work exclusively with a Fair Trade accredited mill and pays their staff above the Living Wage, while partnering closely with fibre suppliers to ensure the animals and workers behind every base are treated well. They also support the Mirasol Project, funding around 30% of the running costs of a school in Puno, Peru, giving children from alpaca-farming families access to education. From ethically sourced merino and alpaca to organic and vegan-friendly fibres, our yarn supplier was chosen with sustainability, animal welfare, and fair trade principles at heart, so you can craft with confidence, knowing exactly where your yarn comes from.
