Ian Walker

Welcome, we're Ian and Margaret Walker and we run our family business, specialising in the sale of fibres for feltmaking, hand spinning and paper making from Otley, West Yorkshire.

Please call us for advice on the most suitable fibres for your project. We'd love to help. After browsing through our fibres, if you find something of interest, then we shall be happy to send you an appropriate sample.

All our customers can be confident in the knowledge that our much acclaimed Merino wool tops have been sourced exclusively from the same high quality supplier for over 20 years.

Merino Fibres

We welcome orders both in person and by mail order. If you are able to visit our Mill based premises situated on the picturesque banks of the River Wharfe, then a telephone call in advance will ensure that we are here to greet you.

Adelaide Walker has supplied fibres for the past 25 years but I'm from a wool family which has its roots in Bradford from the 1930s. Well known for being trusted and respected, quality of fibres, value for money and of course customer satisfaction have long been our priorities.

This year is International Year of Natural Fibres and will also see the first International Day of Felt with feltmakers from all over the world participating.
