Spinners love the fleeces from my sheep:

Throws, Sheepskins etc.

Every sheepskin is different. Some have long and dramatic fleece, some short, soft and cosy, and in all sorts of natural colours.

We are just awaiting the latest batch to come back from Pembrokeshire-based organic tannery we are pleased to support.

Here we see throws in production on the loom:

Our throws used to be woven at a small family-run mill just down the road from Cwmchwefru; since they retired, we now use Curlew Weavers (Rhydlewis) who also spin our wool.

I like to do a bit of weaving too: here is a lovely chunky rug made from sheep fleece:
