Woad Inc

These wool blankets are dyed in Norfolk using natural woad indigo pigment, which they grow organically on the farm there. They're part of a small organisation called Produced in Norfolk which works to protect rural skills from dying out, such as thatching and cider making and wild bee keeping. Picture: Woad Inc.

Black Sheep



I know it's the wrong time of year for them, but I do love these mittens from Black Sheep (although it's probably the packaging that sells it, if I'm honest). They're knitted from British wool by local folk in Norfolk. Black Sheep do seriously chunky jumpers and flannel nightshirts and bars of wool-fat soap, too. Pictures: Black Sheep.
