Wool Warehouse is proud to re-introduce two iconic British brands to our yarn range, Peter Pan and Wendy.
Peter Pan and Wendy yarns have been loved by knitters and crocheters for many years, but sadly fell into administration at the beginning of the global pandemic in March 2020. Fortunately, they have been rescued by new owners, who have spent the past year improving the manufacturing techniques and the quality of fibre used in the yarns, to ensure the new Peter Pan and Wendy yarns are now market-leading quality, and better than they ever were.
So why Wendy and Peter Pan?
In 1928 Arthur Carter, owner of Carter and Parker, a well-known institution in the wool trade introduced two new yarns. Arthur was an acquaintance of J M Barrie, author of the novel Peter Pan. Due to his friendship with the author, Arthur was granted permission for the use of the names Wendy and Peter Pan. The only other organisation ever to have been given permission to these rights was Great Ormond Street Hospital. Who would have known that these balls of yarn had such links with a literary legend!
