ABOUT WOOLLY MAHOOSIVE
Woolly Mahoosive began with one simple moment. A Facebook post.
I saw a gorgeous giant stitch blanket made from merino, clicked the link for a price, and almost fell off my chair. Over thirteen hundred pounds for the size I wanted. I thought, surely there has to be a better way.
So I started searching. And searching. My passion is research and digging for answers, so I went down every rabbit hole possible. The only merino I found was more than six hundred pounds and had to be shipped from Finland. That was the moment I thought, right, time to sort this out properly.
My dining room became my warehouse. I imported my first batch of merino and sold it for less than half the price I had originally found. It worked, but merino is still a considered purchase, so the hunt began for an affordable alternative. After months of conversations with factories and endless samples, Mammoth was born.
And yes, I did send a six thousand pound payment across the world and wait twelve weeks for production and another six weeks for delivery.
The day seven hundred and fifty kilos arrived on my driveway was scary, but it paid off. Our first two colours were burgundy and taupe, and people loved them.
From those dining room days we grew into a four thousand square foot warehouse with more than twenty colours, giant deliveries of up to forty tonnes, and thousands of happy makers all over the UK
