About Bramble & Fleece
Every skein tells a story, and Bamble & Fleece begins where exceptional sheep roam free.
Their Sheepsoft range unites the finest British Bluefaced Leicester and Masham breeds into something luxuriously, unmistakably alive.
Their Wooltrace range takes provenance further still, spinning British Bluefaced Leicester and Romney fibres into 4ply and DK weight yarns, all traceable back to the very farm they came from.
The story of bramble & fleece…
Laxtons mill in Baildon, West Yorkshire, has crafted natural fibre yarns for four generations, and it's still where they spin today.
In 2020 they launched our first handknit collection, By Laxtons, to put their yarn straight into makers' hands.
Today they are evolving the brand into bramble & fleece. Every one of our natural fibres is sourced with care and spun at their Yorkshire mill.
