Shepherds & Kings works solely with directly traded fibers. From the herders tending to their flocks, to the spinners crafting fine yarn, every step is carefully executed by a trusted network of skilled people – many of whom have become friends.

This close-knit, relationship-led approach not only ensures traceability and quality, but also fosters a deeper understanding of the materials themselves. Knowing the people behind the process builds respect for their labor and creates a natural sense of accountability.

Rather than starting with a design and searching for the right yarn to match, Shepherds & Kings is committed to starting at the source. Design follows fiber.
