Our flock of Wensleydale and Shetland sheep comprise mainly of animals that would have been sent to slaughter for being male, missing a pregnancy, being a little lame, being too small, being too old
We pay equal and better prices to save them. They are living out happy lives in our Sheep Sanctuary
I combine my passions for great clothes, animals and Britain.
I learned that about 80% of the wool that we use in this country is imported, predominantly from Australia and New Zealand
When I began my research in 2002 and saved my first 4 ‘butcher lambs’, I also discovered that our textile industry was on its knees
Our cloth is woven at an ancient mill in Selkirk using Victorian machinery that has been operating for over a hundred years.
Our knitwear is made with the lustrous, kemp-free fleece of the Wensleydale sheep, an endangered breed, numbering around 1800 in the world
