What is Cat & Sparrow all about?

I'm Rachael, and I run Cat & Sparrow UK. I dye small batch yarns and fibres, with a focus on British wool and sustainable fibres. I also stock a selection of my favourite tools, because I think you'll love them as much as I do!

Cat & Sparrow started out as a venture between two friends who loved to spin, knit and crochet. We joined forces and began our adventures in colour and texture together.
