Wool Dreamers is a mill based yarn company based in Mota del Cuervo, Spain. Wool Dreamers sources natural fibers cultivated throughout Spain to bring uniquely beautiful and hearty materials for knitting, crochet, weaving and anything you can dream of!

Wool Dreamers was born from the legacy of the Cabo family and their history in the Spanish wool industry. Their story begins more than 100 years ago when the family would purchase wool from local ranchers, wash it in the river by hand, and then spin and weave the fibers into blankets for horses and other agricultural purposes. As farming practices changed, the Cabo family adapted their operations and they acquired large-scale scouring and spinning equipment. These advancements allowed them to process raw wool and produce woolen spun yarns primarily for industrial rug making throughout Europe.
