FROM FLOCK TO SHOP
A handcrafted, 100% traceable knit collection of unmistakable
provenance and authenticity.
"I am a Shepherd and Maker, custodian of the land, advocate for my flock of sheep; working to connect people with the reality that our clothes come from farming, just like our food. My knit collection demonstrates how British wool can be grown regeneratively, processed simply and result in clothing that is beautiful, good to wear, honest, and good for the earth. Every product embodies the journey of my shepherding life. From delivering lambs and watching their fleeces grow throughout the season, to shearing time and handing over my wool clip to the mill. When I run the threads of yarn through my hands on the knitting machine, knowing I've spent the year caring for the animals that produced it, I feel a profound connection to my work."
