A True Farm-to-Fibre Story

Welcome these little masterpieces of slow craft into your home. Each heritage wool coaster (or mug rug) is a sustainable, rustic luxury, born entirely from my flock of rare breed Portland sheep, created and finished by hand. This isn’t just a coaster; it’s a piece of enduring, functional textile art with a story spun into every thread.

The Finest Heritage Wool

The journey begins with my small, cherished flock. I use beautiful, durable wool from my Portland sheep – a vulnerable breed and complement it with fibre from other Dorset Zwartble sheep to give the natural black colour.

  • Handspun: Each fibre is lovingly processed and handspun into yarn, ensuring a unique texture and strength that commercial yarns simply cannot match.

  • Natural Dyes: The yarn is carefully dyed with plant dyes grown organically in my garden, to ensure this is a truly eco-friendly product, free from chemical processing
  • Handwoven: The coasters are meticulously handwoven in small batches, giving them a uniqueness that is designed to last.

  • Finishing: After removal from the loom, the coasters are finished in the washing machine (to ensure they are truly machine washable), before being tidied up by hand.

My process is a celebration of sustainability from the sheep pasture to your table.

A Thoughtful, Sustainable Gift

Because of their unique handmade quality and powerful farm-to-fibre story, these coasters make a truly exceptional gift. They are perfect for:

  • Housewarmings: A memorable and practical accent for a new home.

  • Christmas & Holidays: A cosy, natural addition to holiday décor and gift-giving.

  • Birthdays: A durable and beautiful gift for anyone who values artisan craft and sustainability.
