London Wool, this incredibly local London City Farm yarn is a blend created from the fleece of 16 different rare sheep breeds, totalling 598 fleeces, from the following London city farms – Spitalfields, Mudchute, Surrey Docks, Vauxhall, Stepney, Wellgate, Lambourne, Woodlands Farm Trust, and Battersea Zoo.

The majority of London City Farms keep sheep as part of their educational programmes, teaching children and adults about the production of meat, cheese and wool. Each year more than half a million Londoners will visit a city farm.

Sheep must be sheared for their wellbeing, but the amount of wool from each farm is too small to process commercially. A pilot project united 10 London farms, combining their wool to a sizeable amount for commercial processing and the money raised from this purchase goes towards funding the London city farms and ensuring this project continues as a bi-annual project.
