Wools

Knitting made fashionable

Over the years fashion has played
an important part in our development
and we have built up the most
amazing design archive – from the
necessity of the 1940’s wartime
knitter (who wanted to knit
something quite glamorous as well
as helping the war effort), through
the fair isles and space dyes (called
randoms) of the 1970’s, the batwings
and mohairs of the 1980’s, up to the
more recent fashion for the fancy
Foxy and Funky Furs – Sirdar has
created something from every
fashion movement and our design
archive is incredibly diverse.

As well as keeping an eye on major
fashion trends, they also have yarns
with a timeless quality and appeal.
Our best selling yarn, Snuggly, is
the UK’s favourite hand knitting yarn
for baby and its quality, softness and
easy care characteristics have been
adored by generations of knitters.
Wash ‘n’ Wear, a beautiful double
knitting crepe yarn, is another
lasting quality. This incredible yarn
has been a mainstay in the Sirdar
range for over 35 years.

Today’s fashion is returning to
natural fibres and the emergence
of eco wools and beautiful new fibres
such as bamboo and soya. With a
team of 20 specialists, they publish
over 300 new designs a year and
stock a collection of over 750
designs in leaflets and books. 
They have an extensive yarn range
with an incredible 900 individual
colours.
