"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."
