About Us
What
All woolcake garments and accessories are made by us and other skilled knitters, working to our own designs and with only the finest materials.
Why
Woolcake tries to be as environmentally friendly as possible. The nature of what we do means that nothing is ever wasted; we can find a use for everything. Our ethos for locally produced products and working with our community in the Mendips has recently developed woolcake significantly.
Who
We are friends with local farmers who supply the fleece, which is then spun at The Natural Fibre Company to produce our very own Somerset woolcake wool. You will see images of the farmers, the Mendip landscape and of course our best friends, the sheep, on this site. The majority of our products are now produced from this wool and are great symbols of sustainability. Where we have to use alternative yarns, these are always cotton and wool from UK manufacturers. All other embellishments are found or recycled objects.
We hope you enjoy our website and products.
