【Brand Story】
Stone Wool from the United States is a branch brand of Quince &Co. / Twig &Horn that mainly produces small batches of "specific breed" wool.
In 2014, Whitney Hayward, a photojournalist, started her interest in hand-spinning at home, collecting a variety of different varieties of wool from New England, discovering the characteristics of different varieties of wool, and the changes and influences of different spinning methods on each type of wool.
Because of the love of different varieties of wool yarn, and in order to let more people know, Stone Wool joined the Quince &Co./ Twig &Horn team, and began to move from hand-spinning thread to Stone Wool's woven yarn production, and as far as possible, in the vicinity of its hometown, small batch production of specific varieties of yarn to ensure the stability of quality and source.
