The "Wychwood Spinner" is run by spinners and friends Chris Seers and Sarah Allan who are passionate about fleece, fibre, and spinning.

Chris learnt to spin when she kept alpacas on her Oxfordshire smallholding, meeting Sarah and her Mum Carole at the Oxford Guild Weavers Spinner Dyers, where Carole taught Chris to spin. She now has a small flock of fine fibre rare Bowmont sheep.

Sarah was taught to spin at her mother's knee and has a lifelong passion for British Sheep and Goat breeds & studied at Agricultural College. As a Sussex girl her favourites are the Down breeds, especially Southdown, Sarah has gained much expertise in sheep and fibre over many years, and is a wealth of knowledge.

Together we have curated an extensive collection of wool fleeces and other fibres, sourced from local Cotswold breeders and contacts made over many years with quality flocks.

We have extended our range to include quality prepared fibre using specialist sources who respect the individual fleece and understand the preparation and processing of these precious fleeces. We also have a range of handspun yarns to tempt those of you who love to use rare breed yarns.

We look forward to sharing our passion with you
