Made in England’s historical textile region of West Yorkshire, Lore is 100% lambswool from the Romney sheep, locally known as Kent lamb.

Designer Francoise (Frenchie) Danoy created the Return to Roots Cowl as a visual representation of their journey of connecting to their cultural heritage.
Designed by Jennifer Shiels Toland, the Sea Haven Mitts are a set of unisex textured fingerless or full mittens using stitches from the Sea Haven Sweater.

The Origin
why we chose Lore

and special adventures alike.

perfect for everyday
and special adventures alike.

Lore was inspired by the traditional woolly wools which have been spun in the United Kingdom for hundreds of years.

The Beginning

To pay homage to this rich history in her new homeland, Daphne searched out a mill in the heart of the historical textile region of West Yorkshire.

The Mill

Experts at the mill helped her to source a wool that would honestly represent the rich heritage of the place, and, at the same time, be very wearable for today’s knitters: Romney lambswool.

The Palette

Daphne designed a beautiful palette of softly heathered colours for Lore, that were created by blending dyed-in-the-wool fibre before it is spun.

Stockist Testimonials

A stockist story from Spun

"I'm a sucker for color, and when my eyes landed on Arranmore Light, I couldn't turn away!"

Spun staff member Kate just finished knitting her Mariechen (designed by Isabell Kraemer) out of Arranmore Light. After an initial color quandary, she thoroughly enjoyed the project: 

“My difficulty was picking which color to use: The subtle flecks in Riveresque that create a light blue with depth? The rich saturation in Meera that made me want to dive in? Finally I settled on the vivid melange of orange and pink that Orla provided, and the color kept me happy the whole time I was knitting my cardigan.”
 
And Spun’s Amanda just launched into her Cadadh (designed by Kate Davies), opting for the beautiful neutral Tallach so that her piece would have broad appeal:
 
“I am loving it! Arranmore Light is the perfect balance of rustic and luxury.”
 
“I love that the cashmere and silk add a softness to the yarn without distracting from the wooly core. It’s sturdy without being stiff, and it’s gentle on my hands, thanks to the stretch in the wool. I look forward to wrapping myself in this cozy shawl on a chilly day.”
