Traceable Sheep's Wool Crewnecks
Herd's Brampton Crewneck Jumper Supports UK Farmers
Debra John — November 3, 2025The 'Brampton Crewneck Jumper' by Herd represents a thoughtful approach to British textile craftsmanship, combining traceability, ethical sourcing, and environmental responsibility.
Crafted from soft Bluefaced Leicester wool, a heritage breed native to Northwest England, the jumper’s fibers are sourced directly from local farmers at fair prices, reinforcing Herd’s commitment to rural livelihoods and transparent supply chains. Additionally, the wool is spun into yarn within 150 miles of the farms, minimizing transportation emissions and supporting regional production networks.
The design features a slightly oversized fit and a mid-weight jersey knit stitch, complemented by delicate cuff and hem detailing that reflects understated elegance. Available in natural tones or dyed using plant-based extracts and naturally occurring mordants, the garment avoids synthetic chemicals and embraces low-impact coloration. With nut-based buttons and 100% cotton labels, the Brampton Jumper exemplifies a fully circular, eco-conscious garment.
