BLUE TEXEL WOOL AT MILLSIDE FARM
Jennifer has been a Feltmaker for many years and incorporates wool from the home flock.
The heading photo is a large felt hanging, wet felted from our Blue Texel wool, that has been widely exhibited.
Jennifer also uses favourites within the flock as inspiration for her work.

The wonderful range of colours that are found in the shearling ewe fleeces that Jennifer selects have proved very popular with customers from all over the UK for various other crafts too.

Raw fleeces are welcomed by spinners and weavers and feltmakers etc. who have the expertise to process whole fleeces themselves. We especially like when regular customers visit and choose one or two each year and either show or tell us what they have been creating with our wool since their last visit.
