WHO ARE WE?

Hello, my name is Chloe and just under five years ago my parents left their urban life for a small farm in Mid Wales. My mum Steph is the head farmer, and has built up a flock of rare and native breed sheep who we keep for their fleeces and breed conservation. We’re both vegetarian, and our sheep are part of the family – we do not sell them for meat.

After living in Scotland for work for a while, I had the opportunity to move back home and took it! I now live in a little cottage in the town nearby, and help out on the farm in my free time.

Every year the sheep are shorn – this is important as it stops them overheating in summer, and reduces risk of illness. We collect their multicolour fleeces, carefully clean them, and then send some off to a small mill for spinning into yarn, and keep the rest to make into rugs, cushions, wall hangings, and more!

I make the rugs, cushions, and wall hangings either by the ancient craft of wet felting, or by peg looming. Both are hands on, time consuming, and a great way to get stuck into a fleece. Every fleece that comes off the sheep is unique – all our sheep have slightly different colour ways and locks, and every year they grow slightly differently. This makes working with them feel really special. 

You can find more details about the making processes, the sheep, and life on the farm over on our blog page. Rugs, cushions, wall hangings, and yarn that we have in stock are available to purchase on our store, or on out Etsy.
