Designed for Home Farm Wensleydales - DK collection -  by Ali Craft Designs - Wool to your Door.

Ed's mum, our black sheep - she is so cute - we absolutely love her.

During lambing, 2018, we had a triplet born by a White Wensleydale ewe and unfortunately his mum wasn't able to provide enough milk for all three of her lambs.  This meant that we had to take one away from her and put him in our 'lamb lounge' with some other little friends and a giant automatic milk machine.  

However, a day later we had a very sad situation.  A Black Wensleydale ewe eventually delivered a lamb that was born dead - but it was a great struggle to help her deliver this dead lamb. 

Our vets were out on an emergency call elsewhere and couldn't get to us on time - so we called upon Ed, a 'retired' shepherd with many years experience and a good family friend who also helps us when we are in trouble.  Ed saved the day!  He delivered the dead lamb and instantly swapped it with the White Wensleydale lamb that was in the 'lamb lounge' with the automatic milk machine, and, of course the Black ewe who had lost her lamb was delighted and Little Ed got himself a new mum!  Happy ending and such a happy Ed and new mum.  

Home Farm Wensleydales produce Wensleydale wool to the highest standard and the ethos of our farm is always animal care, welfare and husbandry first.    

Our luxurious wool is made from our finest fleeces, washed and spun in Yorkshire.  Our wool is soft, smooth and silky, bursting with lustre and worsted spun to ensure great stitch definition. 

Our pure longwool yarns are versatile and can be used for most knitting and crochet patterns as well as the lovely range that we have on offer from Home Farm Wensleydales.


THIS KIT CONTAINS: 

100g (3.53 oz) of Home Farm Wensleydales luxury DK (8 Ply/light worsted weight) yarn in Naturally coloured and Cotswold Stone.

The Naturally Coloured wool should be rolled into 2 equal size balls and the body of Ed's mum is crochet using 2 strands.  This gives her body a lovely texture. 

NOIL (Noil is the shorter lengths combed from our tops before spinning.  You will find small pieces of straw or hay - but don't worry - this has been washed to such a high temperature - there will be no bacteria in this!)  Plus - its pure wool - so wont burn - making your sheep extra safe.

You should have enough naturally coloured wool to sew in Ed's mums eyes

Pattern with clear instructions to complete your kit.

YOU WILL NEED: 3.00mm (US 2) crochet hook and tapestry needle to sew up.

SKILL LEVEL: Easy - the instructions are so easy to follow.  But time should be taken with sewing up, stuffing and adding her eyes.

NOTE:  The Naturally Coloured wool should be rolled into 2 equal size balls and the body of Ed's mum is crochet using 2 strands.  This gives her body a lovely texture. 

HOW MINE CAME OUT: She measures       when complete.

COLOUR CHOICES: This pattern is shown here in Cotswold Stone (legs and head) and Naturally coloured (black sheep) body.

LAUNDRY CARE:  Handwash, plump up and dry.

Amazing was always!
Format: Kindle
Frieda had been my favorite author since I started reading again last year. I've read every book and they've all been amazing, this one is no exception. I was hooked immediately! She's really good at grabbing you within the first chapter lol. So many plot twists and the ending was phenomena! I see she has another book releasing this year and I am so excited!

Another brilliant read!
Format: Kindle
I absolutely loved this book and read it in a day. The second POV towards the end of the book with Ronnie’s chapters was a refreshing change and enables the reader to understand little Teddy’s backstory. A tough beginning for sure. I loved the high stakes throughout the book, the twists and, as always, the surprising turn of events at the end. There were a few things I wasn’t sure about. Would Naomi have gone to the birthday party and done what she did with so much to risk? As a mother, I’m not sure it made sense and somehow it frustrated me a little. I won’t go into specifics but the hair cutting was sooo triggering! I thought Teddy’s secret code was a clever addition to the story and ramped up the pace at the end. Really scary and I thought they’d never make it. I think with a little more development and detail this book would have been a clear 5 star winner for me. It was almost over too soon. But I loved the premise. As a result, I gave it 4.4 stars. It was a quick and fun read, as all Freida’s books are. She definitely is an auto-buy author. I’m obsessed!

Another Great Read
Format: Paperback
Yet another "Whodunit" book. No matter how many times I pick up a Freida McFadden book, rest assured it will be great. The books are easy to read; not too prolonged yet the endings are incredible. This book does not disappoint. Highly recommend!!

Great read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Format: Paperback
The Divorce by Frieda McFadden was everything I’ve come to expect from Frieda — addictive, suspenseful, fast-paced, and filled with shocking twists that completely caught me off guard. In true Frieda fashion, just when I thought I had the story figured out, she turned everything upside down. She has such a talent for making ordinary situations feel unsettling and keeping the reader questioning every character’s motives until the very end. What I loved most was how quickly this story pulled me in. The tension builds chapter by chapter, and the short, fast-moving chapters make it almost impossible to stop reading. Every reveal added another layer to the story, and I constantly changed my mind about who could be trusted. Frieda always knows how to create characters that are flawed, complicated, and just suspicious enough to keep you hooked. The emotional side of the story mixed perfectly with the thriller aspect. The themes of betrayal, secrets, marriage, and manipulation made the story feel intense and realistic while still delivering the dramatic twists her readers love. The ending was absolutely wild and left me sitting there replaying everything in my head afterward. Another fabulous read from Frieda McFadden. She truly has become one of my automatic-read authors because she never fails to entertain me. If you love psychological thrillers with nonstop tension, unreliable characters, and jaw-dropping endings, this one is definitely worth the read. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
