Since 1989 we have been providing the purest Wool, the cosiest Cashmere, the comfiest Cotton, the finest Merino, and more, so it’s safe to say we are experts on yarn. Our passion is natural fibres crafted into colourful, wearable, and timeless clothing that are better for you and kinder to the planet.
Lambswool is the highest quality of sheep’s wool. Collected from a lamb’s first shearing when they are six months old, their wool will never be as soft again. For that reason, lambswool is smooth, strong, naturally soft-to-the-touch, and cosy.
Our pure lambswool knitwear is crafted with a more eco-friendly process. Instead of washing our lambswool jumpers and lambswool cardigans after production, we steam clean them, reducing water use and avoiding unnecessary softeners. While they may feel slightly less soft at first, you'll notice the difference after their first wash.
Wool jumpers, wool cardigans, wool coats, wool scarves and more….100% pure wool is the perfect yarn for winter months and the options are endless. Strong and durable, its heavier-weight knit and cable stitch will keep you warm and toasty when you’re out and about.
From comfy Guernsey jumpers and cardigans to traditional Aran sweaters and cosy Fairisles, our 100% wool yarn gives each piece that chunky, rugged look we all love. And with the right care, our WoolOvers quality ensures your pure wool knit will last for years to come.
Our pure cashmere and merino wool blend gives you a luxury knit you can wear every day. Merino wool is made from the Australian Merino sheep. It’s finer than most sheep wool and boasts a wonderfully soft feel, and because it is naturally elastic and flexible it’s the perfect fabric for daily use. It’s also a highly breathable yarn, helping you stay dry while being great for temperature regulation.
Our collection of cashmere and merino wool blend jumpers and cardigans offer a luxuriously soft knit that’s easy to care for and maintain (it’s machine washable) - giving you the best of both worlds.

Made from the fine long hair of Kashmir goats, our pure Cashmere is a wonderfully luxurious yarn. Known for being super soft, a cashmere jumper feels as soft as a cloud and light-as-air, yet it can be up to eight times warmer than other knitwear. We weave two threads together to create our yarn, also known as 2-ply, making it stronger and softer than other high street jumpers - the perfect luxury all year round.
We are proud of the fact that much of our cotton is now organic. Like all cotton material, it has a light, breathable, comfortable feel, but is much friendlier to the planet. Organic farmers use natural methods to grow their cotton, working with nature, using green manures, composting and crop rotation techniques. There is no use of pesticides, creating healthy soils that in turn grow healthier and more resilient crops. This holistic approach to growing organic cotton has long-term benefits for people and the planet.
Another upside of organic cotton production is that it uses less water than standard cotton. Organic farming techniques create healthy soils that act like a sponge, soaking up water and holding on to it for longer periods.
Sheepskin leather, also known as shearling, is a leather that comes from the hide of, you guessed it, sheep. Sheepskin is tanned with the fleece still intact (unlike other leather where the hair or fur is removed before tanning). This results in the sheepskin being more durable - in fact, it’s the only natural fibre that can be bent over 20,000 times and still keep its shape without breaking or tearing.
Our sheepskin gloves and sheepskin slippers are made from premium-grade sheepskin. Fluffy and soft, they are not only incredibly warm and durable, but naturally water-resistant, temperature-regulating and hypoallergenic as well.

Viscose has a lovely soft feel and a drape quality similar to silk but is more affordable. It is a great fabric for lightweight wrap tops and lovely dresses that hang well on the body. Much like Modal, Viscose (or Rayon in America) is made from wood pulp. It is more environmentally sound than 100% synthetics such as Polyester, but chemicals are used in the manufacturing process, so it can’t claim to be 100% ecologically friendly.
However, it is much more sustainable than Polyester and Acrylic which are made from petroleum, and it biodegrades so won’t pollute our oceans with oil or plastic.

Derived from the flax plant, linen is a magical fibre. It has a low environmental impact, needing less water than cotton to grow and every part of the wonderful flaxseed can be used in some way - it’s also a completely biodegradable product.
The planet-friendly nature of pure linen isn’t the only thing we love about it. Linen is strong, durable, soft, and absorbent, making it easy to craft into gorgeous lightweight garments. Our linen clothing is naturally moisture-wicking and perfect for keeping you cool and comfy in the warmer months.
Lustrous and luxurious with a beautiful natural sheen, real silk has been a highly prized fabric for over a thousand years.
Pure silk is made from the cocoons of silkworms. Put simply, the worms spin a thread of silk to create their cocoon, and once formed, the cocoons are carefully unravelled to collect the silk fibres. The raw silk is then spun into threads and woven into the fabric. It takes about 2,500 silkworms to spin a pound of raw silk. Each cocoon contains about a mile of silk filament, and one thread of silk is made of 48 silk filaments.
With its incredibly soft and flattering texture, we add silk to some of our cotton jumpers and cotton cardigans to give them an extra special sheen.

We are not perfect at WoolOvers. But we are working hard and quickly to get better.
RE-USING your knitwear each season ensures you are not contributing to the ‘fast fashion’ problem.
RE-CYCLING your natural knitwear means the yarn can be used again in another Wool product, or left to bio-degrade.
Keep your knits beautiful for longer by washing them in a wool wash and repairing any tiny holes tat may appear over years of wear.
All our garments are sent with an extra button and yarn so you can REPAIR your knits.
