Alice Underwood and Sue Parker met in 2000, establishing Sheepfold in 2006. After 13 successful years working together, Sue retired in 2019 and Alice has continued with Sheepfold as a sole trader. Alice is also a breeder of pedigree Manx Loaghtan sheep.
Sheepfold kits are unique, initially designed by Alice, include assorted wearables such as hats, socks & wristwarmers, and home textiles too. British wool has been used in all the kits.
Sheepfold has a range of wools from specific sheep breeds, both as single breed or as a blend. These are from flocks living here in Cumbria. About sheep includes information and photos of many breeds. Alice supports breeders of some of the rarer British sheep, and buys fleece directly from them. These wools are used in some of the kits and sold as yarn for your own projects. Each year there is also a range of scoured and carded fibres for spinning and feltmaking.
Sheepfold products can be purchased securely on this website using either PayPal or credit card. I aim to dispatch goods within three to five working days and often sooner unless materials are out of stock; if so I will let you know.
If you are unsure of any of the knitting techniques needed, or wish to reknit the pattern using other materials, information on how to achieve this is provided.
Alice’s popular books Sheep of Many Colours and A Breed Apart can be purchased, and her latest book In The Wild is also now available!
