Rare-breed Wensleydale sheep are celebrated for their soft lustre longwool and naturally rustic colours.

In 2010, Juli and her son Anton set out rearing and raising a flock of Wensleydales to produce beautiful, natural coloured fibre.

They also partner with local shepherds to create soft yet durable yarn, in colours the sheep intended: natural colours, no dyes.

Celebrated for their fine lustre long wool and naturally rustic colours, these British Sheep are giant crimp and curly haired teddybears. Over the years we expanded the flock to showcase three main colours.

“No fuss, nothing unnecessary and keep it as natural as possible” has always been the forefront of our mission. From lambing, to processing we keep everything as natural as it can be to produce natural coloured yarn in each of the three colours our sheep spent so much love and time growing. Thanks Sheep’ies!

At the Raw Wool Company the Rare Breed Wensleydale spoke to us as breed because of the smooth, non itchy (kemp free) and durable yarn they produce but mostly we fell in love with the natural colours these sheep boast.

We have created a yarn that the Wensleydale sheep themselves are proud to wear, untouched by chemical dyes for a more natural yarn, celebrating all natural British rare breed wool.
