...in more detail

We rescued 4 old sheep this year, with the worst feet we have ever seen, after weeks of care they are now perfect, living the life in luxury What goes into the making of these handcrafted felted fleece rugs It takes a year of love and care of the sheep, making sure they have all that they need. Good quality hay, straw bedding, hard feeds, vitamins, mineral and salt blocks, wormers and fly strike solutions, vet care and the necessary drugs - right through to the shearing of the sheep, we watch over the sheep as they are sheared and we employ the most compassionate shearers to do the shop as stress free as possible. The rug is then skirted, removing as much hay etc as possible from it, along with any dirty fleece. Its prepared and then hand felted using online soap and water. The process is very labour intensive. We then hand wash over and over until the fleece is super clean. Once finished it is left to dry naturally then hand finished. This rug is cruelty free, meaning its fully traceable back to the sheep that spent a year growing this fleece. (please note, felted fleeces online are not all fully traceable, just because it has no skin on the back like a sheepskin rug, does not mean that it did not die for meat etc )
