Mini Living Rug which would be perfect for a bench, draped on a settee or bed made from part of Noddy’s fleece. Heavy weight piece of felt so would be okay for sitting on. This rug does not moult but is not a particularly soft wool. Noddy is a Texel cross sheep. He was bred for the meat trade and luckily for him he never made it but instead he has been sustaining himself by me using his fleece for the last 6 years. Noddy came to live with me when he was 6 months old (see last picture) and arrived with No Chops as well. Noddy has grown into a huge sheep although he is not particularly friendly. Because of his size and weight he is a real nightmare to shear and unfortunately he knows this too so can be difficult to shear sometimes. Thankfully he is a really hardy sheep so does not require much maintenance. Phew!
As with all our Living Rugs made from only wool so is 'Cruelty Free' and it is also a very eco-friendly seat pad and is suitable for anyone but particularly for vegetarians as this item comes from a sheep with a home for life on our farm. You can be safe in the knowledge that no sheep is being harmed and is living out its days amongst their forever flock. The proceeds of this sale goes towards the upkeep of the flock so in turn this is making the sheep fully sustainable itself through the sale of their unwanted fleeces.
