The Izzy Lane flock of Wensleydale Longwool sheep are loved and cared for and will live out their entire natural lives in the meadows of the Yorkshire Dales.
The Wensleydales are a rare and endangered breed, producing one of the finest and most lustrous fleeces in the world. Their wool falls into long ringlets almost to ground level in unshorn sheep. It has no kemp, the prickly fibre found in most other wools, and can be worn against the skin with no irritation.
Every piece is Made in Britain.
We keep you informed on our progress on our custom tags, upon which we tally how many sheep have been rescued to date.
