What other people think ...
"Have you seen the astounding collection of knit-and-felt bag kits from Sheepfold? The bags come in a wide range of stylish shapes and sizes so there is bound to be at least one that takes your fancy. Sheepfold endeavours to use British wool where possible and there is a range of natural wool kits produced with wool from a variety of British sheep breeds such as Black Welsh Mountain and Wensleydale as well as wool from 'critically rare' classified breeds such as the North Ronaldsay. From fun and funky to classic chic the bag kits contain yarn, pattern, felting instructions, buttons and embellishments and a woven label to sew inside when complete — all you need do is provide the needles."

"Take two crafting friends, a passion for British wool and a flair for design, and you have the perfect recipe for a unique new knitting venture!
With all the amazing new yarns around made from unusual fibres such as bamboo, paper and alpaca, it can be easy to forget the yarn that started it all — wool. Thank goodness then, for knitters such as Alice Underwood and Sue Parker, whose passion for British pure wool has led them to create Sheepfold, their very own knitting business with a difference."

"The Sheepfold stand at Woolfest in Cockermouth was surrounded by enthusiastic ladies and festooned with all manner of felted bags — and soon it became clear what all the fuss was about!
Sue Parker and Alice Underwood established Sheepfold just over a year ago. Describing themselves as avid crafters, they much prefer to work with pure wool, but it was the lack of pure British wool and patterns for felting which led them to creating and designing their own range of bags. Supplying them in kit form makes them all the more attractive to knitters."
The People's Friend, 16 June 2007
"More and more knitters are increasingly turning to environmentally-friendly fibres in a bid to do their bit and are discovering a whole new world of British wool along the way ...
... [Sheepfold's] website offers a brilliant guide to the qualities of Britain's variety of rare breed sheep."
