Custard Factory
The Custard Factory complex in Digbeth used to do what it says on the tin. It was where Bird’s custard was made until the factory was relocated to Banbury in 1964. The Custard Factory is now a creative hub containing independent shops, cafes, bars and digital workspaces.

Our non superwash yarn is spun in Yorkshire from British fleece and hand dyed in small batches in Birmingham. Whilst colour consistency between batches is good, due to the dyeing process no two skeins will be identical and there may be slight colour variations between batches. It is therefore recommended that you buy enough yarn from the same batch to complete your projects and that you alternate skeins every other row.
Once you have completed your garment, it is recommended that you handwash your finished item in lukewarm water with your wool wash of choice and lay your washed garment flat to dry. Although the yarn is thoroughly rinsed after dyeing, some slight colour bleed may occur at first wash.
I photograph my yarn in natural daylight, however colour variations can occur between monitors.
