Made with Romney-Gotland wool from Black Sheep Farm in Chesley, Ontario—a 40-acre agroecological farm dedicated to producing richly hued, undyed wool. While dark sheep are rare in most flocks, farmer Brenda Hsueh has spent years working with her flock’s genetics to encourage natural black and brown fibres—a defining feature of her farm.
The wool is spun nearby at Wave Fibre Mill, a fully vertical artisan mill in Seguin, Ontario, where it is washed, carded, and spun under one roof before being woven into fabric.
Each scarf is produced on a semi-manual industrial dobby loom, a slower, small-scale machine that balances mechanical precision with the rhythm of the hand. The result is a textile that carries both structure and irregularity, expressing the natural variation of the wool itself.
Expect the occasional bit of hay and subtle shifts in tone—signs of the craft and chemical-free processing that define this wool.
