28th February 2025 | IN PRODUCT NEWS | BY SBID Share Tweet Pinterest LinkedIn Here at Linwood, we have long been singing the praises of wool as a robust, eco-friendly fabric that defies passing trends. For our latest wool collection, we are thrilled to be using Romney wools. A centuries-old British breed, Romney sheep are renowned for their soft, strong fleeces that are used to make premium wool products that are guaranteed to stand the test of time. Linwood Our new collection of upholstery weaves represents the best of British, from the quality of the wool to the finest spinners, dyers, weavers and finishers in Yorkshire and Lancashire. Linwood Romney sheep are ‘long wool’ sheep, producing fleeces that are lustrous, strong and hardwearing, yet incredibly soft. The evolution of the breed over the centuries has resulted in the sheep developing fleeces that remain healthy in harsh weather, producing wool fibres that are perfect for both clothing and homewares. Another huge plus is that the fibre is predominantly white, so it can take any form of dye beautifully. Linwood We are hugely excited to announce the launch of our Romney British Wool collection that combines the excellent qualities of Romney wool with the talents of the finest spinners, dyers, weavers and finishers, all based in Yorkshire and Lancashire. ‘The wool has been finished to give it a luxuriously soft texture, making it the perfect choice for upholstery as well as curtains,’ says Warrick Gloyn, Sales Director of Linwood. He continues, ‘It’s durable, eco-friendly, stain- and fire resistant by design, and it has been piece-dyed to provide an alluring array of colours.’ Linwood Products made using Romney Marsh wools contribute to a sustainable lifestyle as the wool is readily renewable as well as being entirely biodegradable, and it is ethically produced. ‘British wool textiles are affordable, practical and environmentally responsible,’ notes Warrick, adding, ‘As a British firm, we want to support British farmers and the industry – and so do our customers.’ Linwood Tactile, sustainable and British through-and-through, our new collection is a must for any interior, adding a sense of refinement and quiet luxury that people will never tire of. Linwood The collection has been certified as 100% British wool by British Wool, and we are thrilled that it bears the coveted Shepherd’s Crook Mark.
