Sirdar was established in 1880 in Ossett, West Yorkshire and although they are still in West Yorkshire, they have a short distance to Alverthorpe. Sirdar was named as they needed a strong brand name and chose Sirdar, meaning leader, after Lord Kitchener’s appointment as Sirdar of the Egyptian Army. It has been a household name for many years, as most people remember their parents and grandparents knitting Sirdar yarns. Hayfield became part of the Sirdar family in the 1970’s and sells a range of yarns and patterns for many projects. DMC and Wool and The Gang are also new additions as part of the Sirdar family.
