With a rich history dating back over 200 hundred years, Marriner has been keeping Britain knitting since 1784.
While the lambs are no longer dependent on the milk from their mother, they will still take milk as and when they want to – and given that they are no longer the tiny things they once were, this can cause some strain on the ewes if they are not separated and allowed to recover.
Moving them into separate fields means that the lambs will become more independent and their mums will be able to fully rest, recover and gain some weight ready for…
Our flock are happy and content where they are, but by moving the mums onto fresher grass, it means that they can produce better quality milk to feed their little ones. This milk will be better for the lambs and make sure they are getting all they need from their mums.
Colin’s son, Phil, and his daughters, are taking charge of the relocation and have been busy ferrying the whole flock to their new field just down the road.
The lambs have been loving their new field already – occasionally even…
We couldn’t be happier that Colin’s ‘hobby’ has turned into something so wonderful. It’s been a great opportunity for a lot of the Marriner team to get involved, spend some time in the countryside, and see the very beginnings of the wool production process.
All the team at Marriner Yarns has been very excited this week as we get news of more and more baby lambs arriving at the farm. Our special flock of Romney ewes have been amazing and we are happy to say that we now have 40 more lambs at the farm – with more still on the way!
Every year these awards celebrate the the retailers, brands and products that makes knitting and crochet such a pleasure for all of us yarn addicts.

We are excited to start this journey with our own special flock and are looking forward to bringing our customers along every step of the way. The ladies have been getting to know their new home and are already looking rather fleecey. You will see more of them as they grow their fleece, when little lambs start frolicking, when they are sheared, and right up until we launch our very own Marriner wool.
