Where Sustainable Wool Meets Homegrown Design
Foxtrot Home isn't just selling throws, they're weaving a story of New Zealand wool into your home. Founded by the passionate Kate and Prue, the company's journey began with a desire to elevate homeware options with ethically produced and high-quality materials. Their dedication extends beyond borders – it starts right at home.
Foxtrot Home champions local and sustainable practices at every step. Their luxurious wool collection is sourced directly from Kate and her husband Jeremy's sprawling 740-hectare sheep farm in Central Hawke's Bay. This isn't just a business; it's a family affair, with each throw carrying a unique touch of Aotearoa, New Zealand.
The Journey of a Foxtrot Home Wool Throw
Imagine this, Romney and composite lambs born under the New Zealand sky, nurtured through the seasons, and shorn in December/January. Their premium lambswool is then meticulously scoured locally before embarking on a journey within the country. It travels to Wellington for spinning and dyeing by skilled artisans, then to Auckland for talented knitters to transform it into the incredibly soft and cozy throws you know and love. Finally, the finished blankets are dispatched from Waipukarau, completing a full circle back to where it all began.
More Than Just Warmth, It's a Commitment
Foxtrot Home goes beyond practicality. They understand wool's inherent value. It's hypoallergenic, breathable, fire-resistant, and completely biodegradable, making it a responsible choice for your home and the environment. Their farming practices prioritize the land and natural resources, ensuring the sheep are raised sustainably.
Foxtrot Home's dedication to quality extends to their techniques. By choosing to knit their throws instead of weaving them, they achieve two things: larger, more versatile throws and a beautiful drape that adds a touch of sophistication to any space.
A Foxtrot Home wool throw isn't just an accessory; it's a piece of a story. It represents a family's passion for wool, the skill of New Zealand artisans, and a commitment to sustainability. With every purchase, you're not just adding warmth to your home, you're supporting New Zealand's wool industry and local makers. And if you ever have questions about the provenance of your throw, Foxtrot Home NZ is happy to share the incredible journey it took to reach you.
