Weaving Tweed From The Wool Of Romney Sheep

Romney Tweed produces the finest quality worsted cloth for premium markets in apparel and soft furnishings. It is woven from two-ply yarn spun from durable and hardwearing single breed English wool, which is fully farm traceable. Top quality Romney fleeces are identified for Romney Tweed through British Wool’s grading system.

The Romney sheep have grazed on the Romney Marsh since the 7th century, becoming a staple of the medieval wool and cloth trades, both legitimate and smuggled. Kent, including the Romney Marsh, remains the heartland of the breed.
