The role we have in our Industry to increase the Diversity of our customers.
The Chester Wool Collective (Chester Wool and Fyberspates) are committed to promoting equality and diversity throughout. We are committed to providing equal opportunities through the people we employ, be it on a permanent, part-time or temporary basis. This also applies to our customers, the mills we spin our yarns with, the designers who design our patterns, the models we use to model our knitwear and our other collaborative partners and freelancers. We commit to always putting those values at the forefront of our business.
We are quite often the entry point for dyers entering our industry, and one of the primary ways we can increase the diversity of our dyers is to offer support particularly for people from marginalized groups. We can help with business startup advice for dyeing businesses, learning how to dye, how to structure and manage your small business, general advice on essentials and also what not to do! We can also provide advice on adapting your space to your needs if necessary. If this is something you think would help you get started we would love to hear from you, or if you know someone who would benefit please get in touch with us. Please note our help is only available to our customers at the moment, this is because we have limited resources for this support.
