There are so many uses for wool plus it is NATURAL, SUSTAINABLE and BIODEGRADABLE. It is grown on wonderful sheep. They enjoy its life on them, keeping them warm, cool, dry and cute looking! In summer, when the fleece becomes too thick and heavy for the sheep, it is shorn off and then they start to grow the fleece back so that by the winter months they have a lovely warm fleece again. The shorn fleece can then be used in lots of further ewesful ways!
