THEY BELIEVE FASHION SHOULD
BE #MADEUNIQUE WITH LOVE. NO MASS PRODUCED
CLOTHING, JUST QUALITY FASHION PRODUCED IN
A SUSTAINABLE WAY.
We’ve all done it, purchased low quality, cheap fast fashion made in factories abroad and wondered “how do they make it so cheap?” The reality is not good. There has to be a better way to produce, one that allows us to wear with pride and sleep soundly. So Wool and the Gang was born — pioneering fashion production that’s made in a sustainable way, bringing back knitting as a viable means of production for generations to come.

Did you know >>>>>>>
KNITTING HAS A TON OF BENEFITS FOR YOU. THE RESULT?
- Reduced stress and anxiety levels. Just what the doctor ordered.
- Improved dexterity as you give your hands and mind a work out at the same time.
- You’ll unleash your creativity and you’ll soon be glowing with pride once you’ve finished.
- Your memory will improve. (Some even say it can reduce chances of dementia.)
- You’ll be able to meet new peeps, knitters are everywhere!
- Wool (surprise!) is WOOL & GANG favourite yarn. It’s natural, renewable and biodegradable.
- They work with fashion factories to repurpose their fashion waste into new yarns to reduce landfill.
- They are always on the lookout for new innovative materials that help to reduce environmental impact.
Designers AURELIE POPPER and JADE HARWOOD met while studying Textile Design at Central Saint Martins in London. After school they gained experience together at Alexander McQueen and Balmain in Paris. That’s when they were discovered by former model, world traveller and yarn lover ELISABETH SABRIER. Together they founded Wool and the Gang. With LISA RODWELL (previously at MOO, Yahoo and eBay) as CEO, fashion industry rebels, Aurelie and Jade, are leading The Gang, changing the way fashion is created and consumed.

BILLY BEANIE KNITTING KIT
GOT THAT VIBE EMBROIDERY KIT
These embroidery kits give a little jazz and funk to your jeans. DMC’s Mouliné embroidery thread is a bit of an icon. It’s 100% cotton and double mercurised (that’s what makes it oh-so silky). And because each skein is made up of six strands, you can make your embroidery stitches as thick as you like. Inside each Embroidery Kit you’ll get two sheets of magic paper (more about that here), six skeins of DMC Mouliné thread, 1 teeny tiny sewing needle and an easy-to-follow stitch guide.
