A barn near Helston, 1978
My mother Morwenna started spinning and dyeing single-flock Cornish fleece in a barn near Helston in 1978. For thirty years she sold her yarn by post and at country fairs, skeins wound by hand, each one traceable to the flock it came from. She wound the business down in 2009 when she retired. The barn went quiet. The name stayed in people’s memories.
Now I am restarting Morwenna Wool. Three Cornish farms, the same ethos, the same fleece. Every skein is still traceable to the flock and the season.
