Superwash Merino wool comes from South America and has OEKO-TEX standard. Silk is Grade A Mulberry Silk sourced from China. Yarn is processed in Peru.

Since launching Monique Dillon Yarn in 2021, Monique has built a steadily growing business working with some of nature's most exquisite fibres - silk, merino and mohair. Monique approaches each colourway as a considered palette using nature as inspiration. A mix of neutral and muted tones form the foundation of her collection with pops of vibrant colour woven through. Every shade is dyed with longevity in mind and crafted with care so that each piece can be worn and loved for a long time.
