Introducing Felted Living Fleece – made from Griffin, our beloved Gotland sheep who is 8 years old. Griffin is a truly handsome and friendly sheep, always eager to greet me. A few years ago, during a scorching heat wave, Griffin fell seriously ill and battled pneumonia, which proved to be a nightmarish ordeal to treat. At one point, we feared we might lose him. However, Griffin's indomitable spirit shone through, and he made a remarkable recovery. Occasionally, he experiences a mild cough when running or indoors. Therefore, it's best for him to spend the entire year outdoors, except for the colder months after shearing when we bring him in to keep him warm.
This year, Griffin's fleece has been exceptional, allowing us to create a beautiful rug that is nearly entirely made from his fleece, excluding the soiled parts. The proceeds from previous sales of Griffin's rugs have helped cover veterinary bills and provided feed for Griffin and his fellow flock mates.
Our Felted Living Fleece rugs are crafted with utmost care at our farm in the picturesque Peak District. They are made using only natural spring water sourced from our farm and gentle soap. This particular piece of felt is heavyweight and designed to withstand occasional use. It does not shed and can be safely washed using the enclosed washing instructions when you purchase this rug.
