Lake District Tweed

Sustainably Hefted Cloth

15/08/2026

Our little Lakeland farm shop here on the farm is open again today fro 10-4.

Here’s a peek of a few of the things we have on our shelves:

Lake District Tweed throws, fabric and gifts (of course 😊) - made from 13 different tweeds, one for each main valley in the Lake District, using wool from farms only in the valley it’s named after: Coniston, Thirlmere, Windermere, Langdale, Buttemere, Eskdale, Haweswater, Ullswater, Ennerdale, Duddon, Wasdale, Borrowdale and Grasmere.

Our Soap Dairy soaps, skincare, balms and gifts, made here on the farm from the rich Jersey milk from Wren, our beautiful “house cow”.

Skeins of wool from our Wool Library. Single bred, or mixed breed. All traceable back to farms that reared the sheep for the wool.

And a few other Lakeland gifts and souvenirs too.

Please pop by and say hello, we’d love to meet you.

We’re just south of Coniston Water at Nibthwaite Grange Farm, Bletherbarrow Lane, LA12 8DB.

If you can’t make it today, we’re also open Wednesdays and by appointment, DM us to book a visit.

Alongside our tweeds and our own Handmade Jersey Milk Soap Jersey milk soaps, skincare and balms we have a beautiful collection of our THE WOOL LIBRARY wool too for you to browse … like this - our selection of Portland wool.

Pop in and say hello if you’re close by, we’d love to see you.

We’re over the moon to have been nominated for The Artisan Founder business awards 🙌 !

We’re one of the finalists in the Material-Led Craft Award - which recognises makers whose work is shaped by a deep understanding of their material - which is exactly the part we care most about here - the wool, the sheep and the farms who tend them 😊.

If you also love what we do please, please vote for us. We’ve added a link to the voting in our bio.

Thank you Lynsey and team - it means so much to us to be recognised for what we do 🙏.

Voting closes on August 31st.

What does the”Farming” logo on our blankets mean?

FiPL (Farming in Protected Landscapes) is a Defra scheme run here by the Lake District National Park Authority, backing farm projects that do something for nature, climate, people or place.

It helped fund the work behind these thirteen valley tweeds - fleeces from thirteen Lakeland valleys, traceable back to the farms they came from.

“Farming” is here because this cloth wouldn’t exist without it 😊

Racy Ghyll farm have just shorn their Herdwicks - this is their flock post shearing (thanks Helen Rebanks for the photo 😊).

And this is the fleece that is used in our Ullswater throw, alongside Whitefaced Woodland wool which we source from the Hodgsons at nearby Glencoyne Farm.

Fleece from the fells to fabric in our farm shop - a journey that, including the making of the tweed, is less than 100 miles 🐑🤍.

28/07/2026

Our tweed for this valley takes its inspiration from the architecture of the Langdale Youth Hostel, a Victorian mansion that at one point was owned by the Benson’s, a family of fullers - finishers of cloth that would be made into clothing and sold locally in Kendal.

Generations of families have grazed sheep on these fells and the tweed we produce makes sure the ones we are able to work with get an above market price for their fleece.

Have you visited this special place? Is it your favourite Lakeland valley?

Many souvenirs are produced half way round the world and then imported into the holiday destination where they’re sold.

Not these - our Lake District Tweed keyrings 😊!

We have one for each main Lakeland valley, made from fleeces of sheep farmed in that valley. Here’s a few for you to see.

If you’re here in the Lake District on holiday this summer you can pop by our farm shop on Wednesdays and Saturdays to pick one up - a proper local souvenir 🐏🐑!

Or DM us and we can open the shop up just for you if you can’t make Wednesdays or Saturdays 🤍.

We’re just south of Coniston Water:

📍Nibthwaite Grange Farm, Bletherbarrow Lane, LA12 8DB

Did you know that alongside our uniquely patterned tweeds we also produce simpler herringbone tweed?

These fabrics are also produced from the fleece of the flocks that graze the Lakeland fells.

They make classic, subtle garments like this jacket which we have on display in our farm shop.

DM us to find out more.
