Welcome to Silkwood, creators of exclusive home produced yarns.

No imported fibre is ever used, and from babies to pensioners, are cared for with love and compassion. Handspun angora in wonderful natural colours, from soft fawn, golds, whites and grey.

Angora fibre is wonderful for felting and can be supplied, as can 100% handspun angora yarn.

Beautiful home grown English Angora

From our angoras we handknit soft and warm scarves, wrist warmers, bedsocks and hats. Our handspun angora yarn is totally different from the yarn that most people remember. It is quite textured, fluffy and strong. We also knit it alongside our handpainted yarns, as a design feature.

We like to think that our handspun angora yarn and knitwear is unique to us, as all the yarn is handspun at home with our own angora fibre. We can be seen at many knitting and craft shows and also at some Farmers Markets. At some shows we bring with us two of our angoras and the whole process can then be seen from the rabbit to the finished knitwear.

None of our angoras are ever harmed in any way in the process of production, and their welfare is top priority.

Please enquire about our knitwear either by phone or Email. Very little is held in stock, as it takes time to produce, and is mainly knitted to order. Prices on request.
