Back in May I wrote a newsletter about the fact that my home town of Ringwood in the New Forest was once well known for a style of knitted glove named after the town. Here is a pic of the pair my sister Susan made recently.

One of today's customers was nice enough to leave us some apples from their tree. A lovely taste of autumn.

At flock we think its important to have a visual guide to British sheep breeds nearby at all times. You never know when it may be needed.

As we are currently are unable to ship to the USA we would love to hear about any small producers in the States that are making great breed specific yarn, especially small flocks. We'd like to spread the word to our US customers and learn about them ourselves. 🇺🇸🐑🇬🇧

Like many small businesses in the UK we have made the difficult decision to stop shipping to the USA from Monday 18th August, due to the trade tariffs and the removal of the ‘de minimis’ exemption. We’re really gutted about this & we hope that it will only be a temporary pause.

These days it feels like a simple act of repair is almost a form of self care as much as garment care.

Preparing the weekends orders to post. Including this lovely Romney Merino to hand deliver locally. Nice to know this wool has probably only travelled 21 miles from sheep to knitter. 🐑
