From City Farms to Cosy Knits

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. This pilot project unites 10 London farms, combining their wool to a sizable amount (1 ton) for commercial processing. The finished yarn and products are offered back to the farms at cost, generating vital funds to support their running costs.
