Our carpet company grew from a successful yarn spinning project set up to find a good use for Herdwick wool.
Herdwick sheep are a rare breed found particularly on the Cumbrian fells in the Lake District.
Their wool can be quite dark with a coarse texture and until recently, the textile industry shunned it in favour of softer and paler fleeces to meet the 'neutral' demands from interior designers.
This meant there was little value attached to a Herdwick fleece when sold at auction.
As a result, many farmers chose to burn their fleeces because the cost of transporting them to the auction market was far greater than the money they could make from their sale.

The Graphite Range is available in different colourways, including our popular stripe variations.
We also produce over-dyed shades of the 'Plain' range which are available in 5 standard shades or to special order.

As part of being affiliated to Woolsafe, we have invested in a specialist project where an expert cleaning company member subjected our Graphite carpets to common household spills and stains.
After stringent testing procedures were carried out, conclusions were drawn as to the best method of successfully dealing with spills as they happen and also if they have dried into the carpet.
More often than not, we are asked about how to deal with accidents involving cups of tea & coffee or glasses of red wine.
