Herdy Sheep
We are so excited to announce that we now stock some of the Herdy range. All their products are inspired by the breed of Herdwick Sheep. These sheep are native to the Lake District in Cumbria, in North West England.
Herdwick Sheep date back to the 12th century, their ancestors were possibly introduced by early Norse settlers during the Viking invasions. However the breed was first recognised in the 1790's, and has recently been awarded protected status.
Herdwick sheep have coarse grey wool which is an excellent insulator from the harsh winter weather. They are extremely hardy and spend most of the winter months in the fells, up to 3000 feet up.
Beatrix Potter, the author, was involved with the breeding of Herdwicks and in the 1930's she won prizes at Cumbrian shows for some of her flock.
Take a peek at our gorgeous money boxes and funky salt and pepper shakers in their vibrant colours.
And, as Herdy says "They are made to make you smile".
