A LEGACY IS BORN
Holland & Sherry has embraced the beauty and versatility of wool since our inception in 1836. In London’s Golden Square, Stephen Holland and Frederick Sherry became known as purveyors of the finest worsted and woolen apparel cloth for the bespoke fashion industry. As textile merchants, they were heralded for their dedication to craft. Whether it be a perennial classic or a novelty weave, any item of distinction began with the proper cloth: wool.
In 1998, the interiors division was born out of this legacy. Guided by the designs of these traditional apparel fabrics, our interiors products soon took on a new transitional quality, suitable for all aspects of the decorated home. And our most celebrated natural fiber, wool, was the keystone around which all else was built.
NATURAL RENEWABLE BIODEGRADABLE
NATURE’S GIFT
Wool is grown and shorn from the hills of Scotland to the shores of Australia. Sheep merely need the elements of nature to orchestrate this growth, and seasonal shearing is critical to their survival. Fleece is meticulously collected, wasting none of this valuable fiber.
At the Holland & Sherry mill, we carefully guide the production process from fiber to finishing and are deeply committed to environmental responsibility. We generate our own energy for production using clean burn resources such as wood pellets and agricultural by-products like hazelnut shells. The water used in the production process is strictly regulated so it can be returned to an environmentally neutral state. Fiber and yarn waste is reprocessed and overdyed to make first quality goods or donated to like-minded industries for use as filling in furniture and bedding.

LONGEVITY
INSTINCTUAL PERFORMANCE
Merino wool is softer, stronger, and more versatile than most other fiber. Its curly shape (also known as crimp), surface scales, and structural core all contribute to its exceptional performance characteristics.
“Wool has memory and an ability to absorb and release moisture – this means that fabrics easily recover from wrinkles and creases, keeping its shape in upholstery that sits comfortably and in drapery with less expansion and shrinkage.
The superior resilience of wool paired with its water and stain resistance means upholstery has longevity. The scales and hydrophobic surface of the fiber prevent most liquid stains from being quickly absorbed making spills easy to clean up.
LONGEVITY LUXURY
Merino wool is anti-static as dust and dirt are not readily attracted to the fabric’s surface, remaining clean for longer periods. The fibers are flexible and have elasticity; they can stretch and bend before breaking which gives it practical durability.
Wool is naturally insulating and provides excellent thermal comfort in all climates and interior environments. It has a dynamic ability to both retain warmth and gently disperse and circulate air for maximum comfort. These attributes also help to dampen sound, making wool acoustically unparalleled.
Investing in wool for interiors is not only wise but the definitive expression of luxury and performance.
OUR MILL
MILL
XV. CROSSVILLE
The Holland & Sherry mill in Tomé, Chile is the core symbol of our devotion to fully vertical textile production for interiors. From dyeing the wool fiber and spinning yarn to weaving and finishing, all facets of the manufacturing process are fulfilled within these walls. With the ability to produce and ship over one million meters of wool and linen per year, the Holland & Sherry mill at Crossville is the most important asset to our company.
The state-of-the-art machinery and artisan techniques ensure continuity in producing the finest worsted wool qualities in the world. The simple fact that our mill is fully vertical gives Holland & Sherry in-house quality control as well as unparalleled flexibility in design.
DEDICATED THE PROCESS
MÉLANGE YARNS
The production of fine fabrics starts with raw material, which is carefully sourced in Patagonia, Australia, and New Zealand. The natural materials are sorted, dyed, and then spun into various yarns including our celebrated mélange wool yarn. The fabrics are woven, mended, and finished with the same care our company has been known for since 1836.
DEDICATED TO PROCESS
Our proprietary wool yarn is tirelessly spun. By combining multiple fiber colors in a single yarn, we can achieve unparalleled color depth and texture. Each strand is composed of three to eight colors, and when the fabric is finished – it delivers an array of sumptuous hues.
