Provenance

PROVENANCE MATTERS

Our beautiful blankets, throws and cushions are made from the lustrous fleece of our Leicester Longwool sheep, one of the rarest breeds in the country.

Taking up to three years for the animal to mature, the colours of the fleece change as they grow, ranging from chalky off-whites to slate greys and peat browns.  

The colour of each fleece each year for each animal is unique and hence the colours for our designs each year are subtly different.

Carefully hand sorted into its natural colour palette, the undyed fleece is traditionally spun and woven in Wales.  The process from raw fleece to finished product takes over 6 months.

Slow grown and lovingly created, we believe each Howe Farm product is an  heirloom in the making.
