Kelbourne Woolen Yarns

Kelbourne Woolens was founded in 2008 by Courtney Kelley and Kate Gagnon Osborn. As part of their commitment to quality, Kelbourne Woolens only works with manufacturers they have a personal relationship with, and all mills must have a commitment to stellar social and environmental practices. They are dedicated to getting quality products, while ensuring the respect and care our planet deserves.

The Mission of Kelbourne Woolens is "to have yarns that fill a gap – not only within our line, but in the industry overall. We work directly with manufacturers who share the same core beliefs of high-quality production paired with environmental and social practices that respect and value the planet. Over the years owners Kate and Courtney have stayed connected with all aspects of running the business, from invoicing, customer service, pattern writing, and sample knitting, to social media, graphic design, color development, and website management."

Kelboourne's warehouse is Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified. GOTS certification ensures that they maintain a rigorous environmental standard in their warehouse with the products they use every day, and that their employees are treated fairly and earn a competitive and living wage.
