"The Swans Island process is a labor of love and a meditation on the beauty and value of a handmade life. We approach our weaving and dyeing in a way that honors traditions of craft in order to create a more sustainable future. Each piece is created with techniques honed throughout centuries of fiber arts. Our wool is first carefully selected; each blade of grass removed from the fleece by hand. Washed only in organic soaps that leave the inherent lanolin behind, the wool is then spun and dyed with age-old techniques. Our 100% certified organic merino wools are an inspiration. Our hues are achieved by using only natural dyestuffs, resulting in beautiful yarns with lots of variegation. Our pattern designs are classic, yet modern. We aim to bring you project ideas that are a joy to to make, fun to share, and will be a pleasure to wear for many years to come." Swans Island
