WOOL
All of the woollen fabrics woven and knitted into Tender’s garments are produced in the UK, from New Zealand and British wool. Wool fibres are particularly receptive to dyeing, so traditional dyes appear darker on woollen garments than on cotton and linen. Traditionally, wool was the commonest British yarn- when a dye colour is described historically it can be assumed to be used on wool. For example madder, which might have dyed red onto a wool coat, will provide a soft pink on less amenable cotton or linen cloth.
