A Welsh organic wool company is expanding its operations to meet global demand for its high-quality, ethical yarn. Garthenor Organic, which designs and manufactures organic yarns in Cardigan, is opening a new woollen mill creating six jobs following a £500,000 investment from the Development Bank of Wales.
The business, owned by mother-and-son team Sally Davies and Jonny King, took over a new 21,000 sq ft unit at Mwldan Business Park last year and has been gradually moving in its worsted spinning machinery which will produce their organic wool yarn. The firm currently employs two people but plans to take on more staff once the mill is in full production by early May to meet increasing global demand for Welsh wool.
