Clapdale Wool Traceable Aran Beanie
£39.95
A chunky Aran cable pattern beanie available in blue, silver and dark grey, made from Glencroft’s own 100% traceable British Wool – Clapdale Wool.
Clapdale Wool is manufactured exclusively by Glencroft from fleeces collected from seven farms within ten miles of our warehouse in Clapham, Yorkshire Dales.
Just like our cattlegrid jumper these beanies are available in a limited edition three colours - blue, silver and dark grey. We've used up all the 2-ply yarn we spun in these colours from our 2022 batch of Clapdale Wool, so you'll be wearing something completely unique that should last you decades. The beanie is a similar feel to other British Wool Aran beanies.
The Clapdale Wool project was launched to create a fully traceable yarn that benefitted local farmers with help from the Yorkshire Dales National Park Sustainable Development Fund. Farmers were paid a decent price for their clip and in addition a share of the profits from the project will also go back to the farms. The wool contains all the sheep breeds on our local farms – Dalesbred, Blue Face Leicester (BFL), North of England Mule and Texel.
We have scoured, carded, combed and spun this wool entirely in West Yorkshire and knitted these beanies over the border in Lancashire. From fleece to hat in just under 100 miles.
