Wild Field Fibre

Wild Field Fibre is the creative venture of Clare, who found herself in need of a new artistic outlet after being laid off from a haberdashery at the beginning of lockdown.

 

With a collection of dyes and yarn from past projects, she began experimenting, producing an array of beautiful colours. What started as a way to pass the time soon became a passion and now, following her retirement from midwifery due to long Covid, she dyes and sells her yarn at her own pace.

​

Each skein is uniquely hers, dyed by hand in colours that bring her joy - colours she hopes will inspire others too.

 

She specialises in British wool, heritage Shropshire lambswool and sustainable, hypoallergenic, plant-based Tencel.

​

While the colours are a source of delight, Clare’s true joy comes from knowing that her yarn becomes part of someone else’s creative journey - transformed into hats, socks, shawls, jumpers or even blankets.

​

The heritage Shropshire lambswool she works with comes from a farm in Montford Bridge, where the lambs are sired by a particularly impressive ram named Rambo.

​

At her stall, you will find a carefully curated selection of yarns ranging from 4-ply to aran in a wide variety of colours. She also stocks patterns from other independent designers and is always happy to chat about all things yarn-related.

​

At the event, Clare will be unveiling a special show colour - kept under wraps for now - along with some exclusive new patterns for sale.
