We are a first generation farming family specialising in native and regenerative farming practices. We grew fed up with the poor price for wool and decided to start turning them into handmade rugs and ornaments.
We run around 30 hebridean sheep which have the most fantastic fleeces. Each year they are slightly different making each rug completely unique.
The farmer will shear the sheep in June to prevent a fatal condition called flystrike and the Farmer's wife wet felts them and turns them into vegetarian rugs.

Full description
Nora is one of our breeding ewes from our pedigree flock of Hebridean sheep. This rug is made from her 2023 sheared fleece and has been backed with more Hebridean wool to give it a firmer base.
By using the sheared wool we have created a sustainable product using the amazing natural wool that we can use year on year. Every time the wool grows back its a slightly different colour, staple or texture which makes each and every rug complete EWEnique.
We back the fleece with carded wool and wet felt it using milk soap (made from our Jersey cows), hot water and elbow grease. Once set we give it a good rinse using plain old water from a bore hole and leave it to drip dry in the sunshine.
As this is a natural product there may still be elements of veg matter retained within the rug. Every effort has been made to remove these but the odd bit may still be lurking. Expect your rug to shed a little. Should you need to wash this rug, submerge it into warm water overnight, drain and leave to drip dry. Use a slicker brush to comb through the wool and spruce it back up.
It is suitable for low traffic areas such as in front of a fire, at the beside or thrown over the back of a chair.
A note about shearing - we shear the wool for animal welfare purposes. If we didn’t then in the summer when it is warm and wet, the sheep are highly susceptible to a condition called fly strike which can be fatal.
