Garthenor's Snowdonia Sock yarn is a high twist, worsted spun Romney and Hebridean mix. Designed from day one as a durable, straightforward base, Garthenor were able to achieve this in stunning undyed gradient simply by mill-blending the buttery smooth tops.
Everything about Snowdonia is deliberate: the fibre is chosen for its strong, smooth characteristics, the twist has been carefully measured to keep the gorgeous integrity of these two breeds whilst achieving the necessary long-lasting ruggedness of a good, honest sock yarn.
Based in Wales, Garthenor Organic produces certified organic wool yarns that are traceable from flock to finished skein. Since 1999, their mission has been to create totally organic, stunningly sustainable yarn with no compromise—championing kindness to animals, people, and the planet. With a strong commitment to ethical production and a goal to spin every yarn in the UK wherever possible, Garthenor sets the standard for transparency and care in the industry.
They celebrate the immortality of wool—a renewable, recyclable, and reusable fiber—and work passionately to highlight its potential.
