PROTECTING RARE BREED SHEEP
Wool is grown well in the UK and is an under-used natural resource, so was an ideal choice for developing a sustainable and ethically responsible, all British garden twine.
Kim knew that choosing the right wool was key to developing a sustainable product. The Whiteface Dartmoor sheep is a rare breed that has been grazing the moor since Anglo-Saxon times, with declining numbers seeing breeding ewes fall to under 1000. They're a big sheep, make good mothers and have the most glorious long 'lustre' wool fleece. Kim's mission to make a use for the wool and a route to market for the farmers, gave her hope to be part of the story of the future for the Whiteface Dartmoor.
