When it comes to winter warmth, wool outperforms synthetic fibres every time.

Wool is naturally insulating, trapping warm air while still allowing your body to breathe. It helps regulate temperature, manages moisture, and keeps you warm even in damp conditions - something synthetic fibres simply can’t replicate. Instead of overheating or feeling clammy, wool works with your body to maintain comfort throughout the day.

Synthetic fibres often trap heat and moisture, creating a cold, uncomfortable cycle when temperatures drop. They are also derived from petrochemicals and shed microplastics with every wash.

This winter, choose a fibre designed by nature. .

Raw wool available from our pedigree flock of Cotswold sheep.
Available in .5kg, 1kg or 2kg bags. (Larger quantities available upon request).
All our wool is thoroughly skirted and will have no felted areas or coloured marks and very little second cuts.
Wool may come from more than one sheep due to our skirting process. Staple lengths will vary (see image).
We blade shear all of our flock which we believe causes less stress to the sheep,most are sheared in the field. Chemical free.
We take animal welfare very seriously, all our sheep are well fed and well cared for and we believe this shows in the quality of the fleece. It has a high lanolin content for which we make no excuses!

1kg £10
2kg £18
Postage will vary depending on weights and size.
All wool will be packaged in a clear sealed bag and compressed to reduce delivery costs.

A short video of how we go through our fleeces in preparation for selling. (We go through each fleece at least twice).Removing sub standard wool and any we consider slightly felted or too dirty. None of our wool is sold as full fleeces due to our thorough skirting methods. We aim to sell our wool with minimum wastage to the end user this averages approximately 90 _ 99% usable product by weight. All wool is sold in the grease (raw).
