Winter Olympic style , Glencroft's Sustainable, traceable beanie made from Yorkshire wool

Glencroft, has made this Traceable Beanie which is chunky knit and seamless and has crafted from their very own 100% traceable British Clapdale wool, giving it full transparency from farm to yarn (it’s literally made from the sheep on the hills around them!).

Clapdale Wool is a project started in 2021 with the help of the Yorkshire Dales National Park Sustainable Development Fund to create wool products – hand knit yarn, jumpers, accessories – from wool sourced from within a 10 mile radius of Glencroft’s home of Clapham, Yorkshire Dales.

Glencroft has manufactured in the UK and used 100% British Wool in a range of jumpers since we began in 1987. This is yarn certified by British Wool as being from sheep living on UK fields.

It’s been the most traceable wool they could find at a reasonable price but they’ve always hankered to use the sheep on the fields around them and contribute directly to the local community.

Produced in small batches using a limited supply of this unique yarn, it’s a timeless piece that blends classic winter sports aesthetics with modern sustainability / slow fashion credentials.

Crafted for cold days on and off the mountain, this Green Clapdale Wool Traceable Seamless Beanie pairs understated style with serious sustainability credentials. Made in the UK from Glencroft’s own 100% traceable British Clapdale wool, each beanie can be followed from farm to yarn, a rarity in modern knitwear.

The chunky, seamless construction reduces waste in production while delivering a snug, fashionable fit that locks in warmth. Produced in small batches using a limited supply of this unique yarn, it’s a quietly distinctive piece designed to last for decades, not seasons, proof that technical winter style and responsible manufacturing can go hand in hand.
