About our fibres

At THKYCo. we only work with the finest fibres, carefully curated and sourced, only the best get passed our critical eye and rigorous testing process. 

Each fibre has its own unique features and qualities…

Merino and Superfine Merino wool is highly valued for its softness, breathability and warmth, has excellent moisture-wicking properties making it comfortable to work with and wear in a variety of climates.

With its fine fibre diameter Superfine Merino feels luxuriously soft against the skin and is ideal for garments worn next to the body.

Superwash Merino wool has been treated to prevent it from felting or shrinking when washed.  It offers the same warmth and qualities as non-superwash fibre, but with added durability and ease of care.

Alpaca fibre is known and valued for its incredible softness and warmth, lightweight yet insulating, making it a popular choice for winter garments.  It’s smooth surface takes up dye beautifully resulting in rich, vibrant colours.

Mohair comes from the fleece of the Angora goat and is known for its lustrous and  silky texture and durability.  This fibre is exceptionally lightweight and has excellent insulating properties, making it suitable for both warm and cool weather garments.

Mohair fibres have a natural elasticity, which helps garments maintain their shape and resist wrinkling. Bluefaced Leicester is grown in in the UK and is valued for its long, soft and lustrous fibres.  It has a beautiful drape and sheen, making it an excellent choice or both clothing and accessories.  BFL is one of the softest traditional British wool breeds, making it comfortable against the skin.  Garments made from BFL are durable, resistant to pilling and have a luxurious appearance.

Silk is a natural protein fibre produced by silkworms and is highly valued for its incredible smooth texture and lustrous appearance,  Silk is lightweight, breathable with excellent moisture wicking properties, making it comfortable to wear in various climates.

Fibre Care

I take great care gently washing and rinsing the fibres after the dye process to ensure they run clear, occasionally with particularly saturated colours a small amount of colour bleeding can occur.  We recommend washing separately in cold water in a good quality wool wash detergent.

I recommend all our wool fibres be washed gently in cold water with a good quality wool detergent.
