Why We Choose Cotswold Wool (Apart from the Very Cute Sheep!)

At Beatrice Bayliss, we believe that the foundation of every piece of luxury knitwear is the fibre it’s made from. That’s why we choose Cotswold wool not only for its beauty and durability but also for its rich heritage and sustainable qualities. And yes, the sheep are incredibly cute too.

             

The Heritage of Cotswold Wool

Known historically as the “Golden Fleece”, Cotswold wool has been prized in England for centuries. With its natural lustre and long, silky fibres, it has long been associated with quality and luxury. By using Cotswold wool in our collections, we honour Britain’s tradition of wool knitting while giving it a modern, sustainable edge.

Sustainable British Wool

Choosing British wool means choosing sustainability. Cotswold sheep are raised locally, reducing transport emissions and supporting British farmers. This keeps traditional farming alive and helps protect the countryside we all love. For us, sustainability isn’t an afterthought, it’s at the heart of every stitch.

Why Cotswold Wool Stands Out

  • Durability — The long staple length of Cotswold wool means our knitwear keeps its shape season after season.
  • Soft Luxury — Strong yet silky fibres give a unique balance of softness and substance.
  • Natural Beauty — Its gentle sheen creates knitwear that looks effortlessly elegant.

             

Knitting Craftsmanship Meets Cotswold Wool

At Beatrice Bayliss, we combine expert knitting craftsmanship with the finest Cotswold wool to create garments that feel indulgent, wear beautifully and last for years. Every piece of luxury knitwear tells a story; one of heritage, sustainability and timeless design.

So, while the sheep themselves may charm us, it’s their wool that truly inspires our collections. With Cotswold wool, you’re not just wearing knitwear you’re wearing a piece of British history, reimagined for modern luxury living.
