The Chimney Sheep is made from 100% Herdwick wool
The Chimney Sheep draught excluder for chimneys comes with its own dangle, and it is very important that this is visible at the top of the fireplace so no-one forgets it is there and lights a fire. There are also a range of dangles that can be hung from the handle to decorate your fireplace and make it look more cheerful when the fire is out. If you want to light the fire the Chimney Sheep is easily removed – pop it in a gorgeous wrap to hang from the mantelpiece or put it in a bag in the cupboard, then push it back in when the fire is completely out.

The Illustrated Herdwick Shepherd
Tel:
I am the luckiest man alive, because I get to live and work in the most beautiful place on earth: Matterdale in the English Lake District.
When I was a child we didn’t really go anywhere, except a week in the Isle of Man when I was about ten years old, and I never left Britain until I was twenty.
Even now, years later, the best bit of any travelling is coming home.
Bringing us into the world of shepherd’s baking competitions, sheep shows and moments out on the fell watching the sheep run away home, James Rebanks interweaves thoughts and reflections on the art of shepherding with his photographs of the valley, people and animals that make up the daily life of the fells. A life lived by the three hundred surviving fell farming families, this is a book of photos and words filled with reverence and love.

Tel: 01539 739202
Our friends at the herdy company are great supporters and celebrators of our amazing breed, through their business and on-going work behind the scenes with the herdy fund.
Their latest creations have been the ‘My Herdy’ limited edition family – bringing the breed to life in a loveable series – first the My Herdy Ewe (sold out), then earlier this year the My Herdy lamb; and now, the magnificent My Herdy Tup.
In designing the ‘daddy’ of the family, the folk at herdy HQ had to decide whether to make him a true Tup in every sense of the word. There are obviously two particular features that make the male Herdwick valuable and they were keen to replicate this!
Spencer Hannah from herdy tells us: “The brief to Merrythought, England’s last remaining teddy bear manufacturer, was to make My Herdy Tup ‘complete’ with his two ‘most valuable assets’. We are all thrilled with the result – My Herdy Tup, with his lovely curled horns and magnificent mane, is a beautiful and truly unique soft toy, and a worthy tribute to this very special animal.”
Sarah Holmes from Merrythought said: ‘It’s definitely the first time we’ve ever been asked to make a soft toy which is so anatomically correct! We have always had such fun making the My Herdy collection pieces, and this one really made us all smile.
Each one has been lovingly handmade at our workshop from pure alpaca, a wool we always use because of its softness and suitability for soft toy making. The finishing touch to each My Herdy Tup is his hand-embroidered nose and smile, so no two will be exactly the same.’
The Herdwick sheep inspired the creation of Herdy back in 2007, and through the company’s responsibility agenda, they find ways of of supporting all kinds of rural community initiatives; upland fell farming and the Herdwick sheep, through the herdy fund.
My Herdy Tup, a numbered limited edition of 250 pieces, presented in a hand made box. Handmade in England for herdy by Merrythought. Price £119.
