The wool for the throw comes off one farm

Six hundred sheep in the Karoo, one clip a year, and the reason we can only make the throw in autumn.

The wool for the throw comes off one farm

The throw is one farm's wool. Six hundred sheep, one clip a year, and whatever comes off them is what we have.

That is an inconvenient way to make a product. It means the throw is an autumn thing, that we cannot simply order more when it sells, and that the colour moves a little between years because the flock and the season move a little.

It also means we know what we are selling. Wool bought on an open market is a blend of everything that was cheap that week, and it behaves like one.

When it is gone it is gone until the next clip. We would rather say that than pad it out.
