Wildcraft sources all of its home grown fibre from our own spinner's flock of sheep. We are building a small mixed flock of a variety of British and continental sheep breeds, with a focus on producing beautiful fleeces for handspinners and knitters.

In 2008 we began building a core flock of pedigree Coloured Ryeland sheep. Ryelands are one of the oldest British breeds of sheep, the majority of which are now white. There is however, a small but growing group of registered coloured Ryelands. Coloured Ryelands generally are born with black or spotted fleeces, which develop a grey/brown tinge as they grow older. The adult sheep are very well covered with wool, which when coupled with their friendly nature, can make them seem rather like teddy bears!
