Contract Spinning · Cardigan, Wales

We manufacture worsted spun yarn.

We guide clients through as many or as few stages of the process as they need.

Whether you have a finished specification, raw fibre, or simply the beginning of an idea, we can help turn it into a commercially manufactured yarn.

What we do

Built around your project.

Every project is different. Some clients come to us looking for a manufacturing partner. Others need help developing a yarn, sourcing fibre, or navigating the manufacturing process. We adapt our role to the project.

Design

From refining an existing specification to developing a completely new yarn, we help turn ideas into manufacturable products.
