Heritage Wool: Canadian Tradition Woven into Every Stitch
In a textile world full of modern blends, some yarns stand the test of time. Briggs & Little's Heritage Wool is one of them — a rustic 100% Canadian wool spun with care and tradition in New Brunswick since 1916.
🇨🇦 A Historic Mill Still in Operation
Founded in 1857, Briggs & Little remains one of the last family-owned spinning mills in North America. Their Heritage yarn is a robust 2-ply wool that honors a century-old craft, perfect for functional and traditional textile projects.
What is Heritage wool good for?
This yarn is ideal for weaving blankets, home décor, wall hangings, or for knitting rugged sweaters, socks and accessories. With its rustic texture and excellent stitch definition, it's a favourite among weavers and knitters who value character and durability.
