About Us

Wingham Wool Work began over 40 years ago in the rolling hills of Yorkshire, founded by Ruth and Alan, whose love for wool inspired them to share the very best fibres with spinners and crafters. From a small, family-run operation, the business grew steadily, earning a reputation across the UK for quality, care, and a deep understanding of fibres.

For decades, Ruth and Alan nurtured every aspect of the business, from selecting the finest British wools to sourcing luxurious silks, alpaca, and rare blends. Their dedication created a foundation built on trust, craftsmanship, and a passion for natural fibres — a foundation that continues to shape Wingham Wool Work today.

In recent years, the next generation has stepped forward. Tom and Ellie now run the day-to-day operations, taking the business into a new chapter while Ruth and Alan step back. With the move to the picturesque Gloucestershire countryside, Tom and Ellie have grown the business with the help of a talented and dedicated team, whose expertise and commitment ensure that every fibre, fleece, and product meets the high standards Wingham Wool Work is known for.

Every fibre we offer is carefully chosen with attention to quality, sustainability, and versatility. Our mission remains simple: to provide exceptional fibres and materials that celebrate the natural beauty of wool, honour our heritage, and keep the family tradition alive.
