Ewe sales are returned to the flock owners working to keep our countryside
beautiful.

improved Nude Ewe website! Thanks to a grant from the
Chilterns Conservation Board and the fantastic folks at
Bonfire CI customers will
finally be able to purchase our products online.

celebrate we'll be launching a new pattern along with some other

Introducing
'Waves', our new pattern perfect for winter
|
 |
The
chill of autumn is upon us so we're thrilled to announce a new addition
to the Nude Ewe knit kit collection. 'Waves' is a simple but elegant
shoulder cosy, created just for us by Norwegian designer Eline Oftedal
of High North Designs. It is designed to be knit in 'Wes' but of course
can be made up in any of our wools.
Please note that the 'Waves' knit kit includes only wool and pattern and
is knit on circular needles which are not included.
(Brooch is for display purposes only and is
not included in the Waves kit)
As
a kit or knitted up, 'Waves' would make a great Christmas present so
check it out! |
New prices
effective January 1, 2011
|
After a great deal of
number crunching and soul searching we have come to the conclusion that we
must raise our wool and kit prices. The new prices will take effect on
January 1.
The Nude Ewe returns all profits from wool sales
back to the graziers from whom we obtain our fleeces. Their flocks are
'conservation grazers', that is the sheep are used to manage nature reserves
and important habitats. These flocks are non-commercial and do not make
money for their owners. The Nude Ewe was set up to help offset financial
losses from shearing and livestock maintenance. In doing so we hope to
support and promote the conservation graziers and their flocks keeping our
countryside beautiful.
The Nude Ewe has not increased prices since we
were established in 2008. Since that time our processing costs have
increased, and as a result we now have much less to return to the graziers.
We are increasing our prices so that we can once again give graziers a good
profit from their fleeces. Please see our Products
page for all the details.
We do hope our customers will understand this
difficult decision we have had to take, and we thank you very much for your
continued support. |
Yes, we have
t-shirts!
|
 |
 |
We're super excited to
announce the launch of our Nude Ewe t-shirt shop! Hosted by Spreadshirt,
the shop currently offers two designs. Proclaim your love for the Nude
Ewe with our logo, or celebrate Britain's ovine heritage with our cheeky
sheep breeds design. And because we're non-profit, proceeds from t-shirt
sales are reinvested back into the Nude Ewe project so we can grow and
help even more conservation flocks keep our countryside beautiful.
Check out our shop today,
and stay tuned as more designs are added! |
The Nude Ewe
is now blogging
|
We're thrilled to
announce the launch of our Nude Ewe
blog! The Nude Ewe is about more than just wool: it's about wildlife,
economics and other stuff too. The blog gives us the chance to talk about
what's on our mind in the world of conservation grazing. And it lets
you tell us what you think as well!
