Natural Wool Ireland is wool from my small flock of Romney sheep farmed
in South Wicklow Ireland. This is a beautifully soft wool, which is
available in its natural form or a variety of colours which is hand
dyed in small batches on my 75 year old Aga in my kitchen creating a
unique product.
My flock of Romney Sheep are ethically farmed and contribute to the
biodiversity and sustainability of the farm. The farm has been in my
family for generations and there have always been sheep as part of the
eco cycle of the land. I changed to a Romney sheep when I became
interested in wool about 6 years ago. I select my breeding flock for
their wool. Romney wool has a long staple and great crimp so is
excellent as yarn for knitting, weaving and crochet.
The flock are shorn annually in late spring. Sheep’s wool is a renewable,
biodegradable and sustainable product. It is also flame retardant, odour
resistant and easy care making it the ideal choice for durable long lasting
eco products.
