OUR STORY
Welcome to Woolberry! We are a family-owned yarn company specializing in hand-dyed yarns sourced from ethical farming practices. Bethany and Rhys (pictured above with our two children!) run the business together along with our team of yarn assistants. When we aren’t working, you can find us at our local coffee shop, walking local trails with our rescue pup – Sadie – and kids in tow, or traveling to new places. We both love exploring new places and have a bucket list of places we want to go – top of the list? The English Countryside!
Woolberry began in 2016 when Bethany needed a change from her day-to-day life. On a whim, she decided to try dyeing and fell in love with the process! Woolberry started in the basement of Bethany's parents' home with a single burner in a small kitchenette dyeing 1 skein at a time.
Over the years, as Woolberry has grown and expanded, we have kept the commitment to providing our customers with the highest-quality and humanely-sourced wool available.
All yarn is dyed with professional low-impact acid dyes. We try our best to make as little impact on our environment as possible. All water is recycled throughout the dye lots to help reduce water waste and dyes are fully exhausted before any water leaves the dye pots. In addition, all of our packaging material is recyclable. Please recycle and reuse our products.
Along with helping keep the environment as untouched as possible from our dyeing process, Woolberry is committed to giving back to those who might not have the same opportunities or resources we find abundant here in the United States. 5% of all purchases placed on our website is split between two organizations:
Charity: Water - an organization committed to providing clean drinking water to remote tribes and villages around the world. For more information, visit charity: water
Handspun Home - an organization that gives respectable and above fair wage jobs to at risk women in Rwanda. Along with employement, they provide healthcare, education, and counseling for the women and those in their household. For more information, visit Handspun Hope
We thank you for supporting our small business and we hope every skein you purchase from us shows the hard work, dedication, and love we have for the fiber community.
Happy Making!
The Woolberry Team
