Charlie Button Yarn
Charlie Button Yarn developed when I realised the fleece from our local sheep was just thrown away after their annual shearing. To me this was a heartbreaking waste of a wonderful, sustainable and valuable resource.
I sourced a small mill that specialised in small batch fleece processing and began to have the fleece transformed from something that was going to be wasted into something beautiful and useful.
You wont find the same consistency and uniformity as you would from a more commercially produced yarn. The yarn has it’s own unique identity – just like the sheep it comes from.
Because I worked with a small number of farms, with a smaller number of sheep, the skeins produced are limited and may change every year! Follow updates about sales on my Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/charliebuttonyarns/.
I am delighted to announce that I will now be selling via the Yarn’n’Yarns website!
