Our Ethos
At Monkstone, our mission is to foster a local circular economy that champions the rich heritage of Welsh wool and our community. By collaborating closely with local farmers, we ensure that the fibres and fabrics we use are not only sustainable but also traceable. Our commitment extends beyond the creation of quality knitwear and homeware; we aim to reinvigorate the regional wool industry by implementing farming schemes that prioritise environmental stewardship and community resilience.
In doing so, contribute to a future where craftsmanship and sustainability go hand in hand.
Through small-batch production and an emphasis on quality, we strive to make knitwear that lasts, honouring the age-old traditions of Welsh craftsmanship while paving the way for innovative and responsible practices. This holistic approach allows us to engage with the local economy and create a lasting impact on the farming community.
Responsibility
As we grow, we have introduced fibre from trusted sources across the country. When we feel our wool isn’t the best match for a product, we always use British yarn. Every piece is tried and tested in Welsh weather around our farm to ensure long-lasting hardiness and practicality.
Through small-batch production and an emphasis on quality, we strive to make and curate goods that last, honouring age-old traditions of craftsmanship while paving the way for innovative and responsible practices.
Farming, gardening and floristry increasingly influences our design process. Like the seasons, our goods are ever changing, and we want our customers to feel part of the story.
