Our very own eco-friendly Herdwick wool needle felting mats.
Crafted with sustainability at their core, these mats are made from mill waste Herdwick sheep’s wool and natural hessian, transforming overlooked fibres into a hardworking felting surface.

Just returned from a relaxing camping weekend in Delamere forest with Teresa from Crafty Cowshed. Plenty of crocheting, tea and cake 😊 Not to mention sunshine😁 And biscuits 🤭
I am loving how my hexi cardigan using 'electric boogaloo' wool from Flock & Skein is turning out. Hopefully it will be finished in a few weeks and I'll be able to share pics of finshed cardigan with you.

Good Morning Flockers!

It’s Sunday morning… time to wake up slowly and contemplate the important things in life! Like… what are you going to make today?
Are you starting a new project, finally picking up that one you’ve been meaning to finish, or simply admiring your stash while contemplating the fact that perhaps you don’t actually have enough wool?
We’d love to know what you’re planning today — crafting, creating, or just plotting your next woolly purchase!

Happy Sunday, Flockers!

A little look at some of the hand dyed & carded batts from the last couple of weeks.

Each one starts with carefully selected British sheep wool, which is then hand dyed & carded in small batches here at Flock & Skein.
These are just a small selection of the colours I’ve been working on — with 40+ colours available in the shop and online.
And there are plenty more new colours coming soon!
Perfect for needle felting, spinning and all your creative woolly projects.

Something colourful is coming to Flock & Skein…
It’s been a busy couple of days getting our North Country Mule fleece prepped and ready for the dye pans, and I’ve been taking note of all your colour suggestions.
Now it’s time to turn that beautiful British fleece into some fabulous fibre batts for all your needle felting and wet felting projects.
Think Halloween horror, deep autumn leaves, cosy woodland colours and BIG, bold Christmas reds, greens and festive shades.
From spooky makes and autumn creations to cosy winter projects and Christmas crafting, there’s going to be plenty to inspire your next project.
The fleece is prepped, the colour ideas are ready and the dye pans are waiting…

Pictures coming next week — I can’t wait to show you what I’ve created!
