Riley Studio British Wool Ribbed Beanie

This timeless winter essential is knitted from natural, undyed British wool, produced as part of a hyper-localised supply chain.

Our British Wool Beanie goes from field to the finished product within 300 miles, which is a huge environmental saving compared to wool sourced from New Zealand or Australia, where the supply chain can often exceed 17,000 miles.

The British wool is farmed in Lancashire, England, harvested from pedigree Bluefaced Leicester sheep - a breed famed for the fine staple and soft quality of their wool. Historically, British wool has been viewed as too coarse for clothing and is often discarded. We are now reclaiming this waste product as part of a push for less waste and greater circularity.

To preserve the wool’s low impact credentials the raw wool yarn has been left undyed in its natural ecru colour, with no toxic chemicals used to clean or dye the wool at any point.
