Bristol Cloth — Third Edition

Autumn colour, woven to keep.

Three plant-dyed colourways, bringing the warmth of autumn into winter and beyond. Made in small numbers from British wool, woven in Bristol and individually hand dyed by Babs Behan.

Mustard · Tan · Blush

Root, bark and a little alchemy

Each colour begins with a plant and a slow process of transformation. Roots and bark release their colour into the dyepot, meeting wool, water and the skilled hands of the dyer. Each finished piece carries subtle variations: a record of its own making.

Mustard - Rhubarb Root
A rich, golden yellow with the warmth of autumn leaves and low afternoon sunshine. Rhubarb root gives this cloth its generous, spirited colour - a little brightness to carry into the darker months.

Tan - Oak
A soft, earthy neutral drawn from Oak. Quiet and grounding, with associations of strength, shelter and endurance, it brings the gentle warmth of woodland into an everyday companion.

Blush - Oak & Acacia
A delicate, dusky pink born from a little dye pot alchemy. This special combination of Oak and Acacia reveals a softer side of these traditional dyes: warm, subtle and quietly luminous.

Wear them with your favourite neutrals or alongside deeper colour. These three complementary shades sit beautifully together, each offering a different warmth against the skin.

Choose the colour you feel drawn to.

Good wool, thoughtfully woven

Bristol Cloth brings together organic lambswool from an organic regenerative farm in Somerset in the weft, and recycled 100% British wool yarn from Bristol Weaving Mill in the warp. The finished cloth making thoughtful use of fibre already in circulation.

Naturally breathable and thermoregulating, wool helps hold warmth while allowing moisture to escape. Its natural resistance to odours means it often needs only airing between wears. A comforting layer for cold mornings, winter walks and evenings by the fire.

Each piece is hand dyed by master dyer and Botanical Inks founder Babs Behan in her studio, using organic, traditional natural dyes. Colour moves through the woven cloth in subtly different ways, giving every scarf its own character.

From Somerset pasture to Bristol loom

Woven at Bristol Weaving Mill by skilled weavers, this third edition continues Bristol Cloth’s pioneering work towards a local, regenerative textile system.

Every piece supports the farmers, weavers and dyers keeping these skills alive - connecting the land that grows our fibres with the hands that turn them into cloth.

Made with care, to be worn often, cherished, and in time, passed on.

A small edition, a lasting companion

Only a small number of scarves are available in each colourway. The variations of natural dyeing make every piece individual and uniquely yours.
