Lake District tweeds and throws are inspired by the beauty and history of the landscape, the hardy Lakeland farmers and the sheep who have grazed the fells for generations. The wool is collected from our farmer friends in the Lake District and all the processing, from washing to weaving, takes place in the north west of England, the heartland of wool production for centuries. We make valley specific tweeds and throws that reflect the unique characters of each valley. We are proud to be a part of this Lake District legacy through the hands of craftspeople who bring our timeless tweeds to life.
