Little Beau Sheep’s Story

Little Beau Sheep came about in the most unlikely way. At the time, I was a mum of two little girls living in a small flat with no garden. So I was reliant on a tumble dryer to get a quick turnaround on all that babywear.

To speed things up, I’m now ashamed to say I bought plastic tumble dryer balls. The noise was unbearable, however, and they soon showed signs of damage. Plus, I really didn’t want to add to the world’s plastic woes.

Wool and lanolin: a natural solution

I was taking a course in felting at the time and looked to nature for inspiration. Being in the Dales, sheep became my muse. I already knew about the softening power of lanolin as I’d used it on my babies’ skin.

The penny dropped and my felted sheep took their first silent fluffy tumble in the dryer.

Recognised for services to wool

By now, you’ll have gathered that I love wool. For me it’s the most amazing natural resource with so many uses and benefits. So when I won a Rural Business Awards ‘Wool Innovation Prize’ it was quite over-whelming.

The whelms kept coming, however.  I received it from the fabulously named ‘Worshipful Company of Woolmen and The Company of Merchants of The Staple of England’. Could life get any better I ask you?

Flying the flag for British Wool

As a passionate believer in the power of British Wool, it’s always heartening to see its importance recognised and celebrated.

So when I won the Small Business Sunday Award in 2019, I was quite frankly, over the moon.

Only around 1% of the hundreds of thousands of entries win, so it was a very special feeling – especially when Dragon’s Den icon Theo Paphitis presented the award.

Turning the tide on plastic.

Like me, you’ve no doubt been horrified by coverage of plastic in our oceans. That’s why in 2018 I ran a Crowdfunder campaign to help me put in place a plastic-free policy here at Little Beau Sheep.

So many kind-hearted and generous people came out in support, I was able to remove all plastic and packaging and wrapping from our product range. So you can enjoy all the benefits of wool without any nagging worries.
