The Woolly Shepherd, Waste Wool and The Low Carbon Future
The Woolly Shepherd is an ethical Somerset family business with its eye firmly set on a low-carbon future. We are taking waste wool to places it’s never been before! We source low value wool locally and make it into beautiful, practical items for your home, person and business.From Acoustic Clouds and FELTO boot liners, to insulated packaging, wine coolers, cushion stuffing, and kindle or mobile phone covers, our range is inspired by the fundamental qualities of wool.
Here are just some of the amazing things that wool does:
- ABSORBS SOUND WAVES – see our acoustic clouds
- INSULATES NATURALLY – toasty warm feet
- REDUCES WATER USE – absorbs and releases water so well it makes a great mulch or planter liner
- BREAKS DOWN COMPLETELY – 100% biodegradable
- NITROGEN RICH – feeds your plants as it breaks down
- SUSTAINABLE and LOW CARBON – sheep make it from grass
Why Wool is Sustainable
Our products are made from wool that has been collected, cleaned and felted in Somerset and Devon. This means it has been produced, processed and manufactured within our rural economy, providing fair trade for farmers and fair pay for local people.Please contact us directly if you have a query and we will be happy to help.
