British wool spun from local conservation grazing flocks. Proceeds from Nude
Ewe sales are returned to the flock owners working to keep our countryside
beautiful.

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!
It's early days yet
but already we've posted some great stuff. Check it out at
www.nude-ewe.com/blog!

The Nude Ewe
wins 'Gold Mark' award!
|
The Nude Ewe has won a CPRE Mark award in the
2009 'Living Countryside Awards' held by the Campaign to Protect Rural
England Bedfordshire branch! This award scheme aims to recognise landowners,
individuals and commercial users of the land who are making special efforts
to preserve and enhance the visual appearance and biodiversity of
Bedfordshire.
The Nude Ewe was described as an 'imaginative
blend of land management, biodiversity, conservation and commercial
interests'. Many thanks to all our customers and supporters for making the
project what it is! |
James has
finally arrived! now sold out!
|
It was a long time
coming but we think it was well worth the wait - our first handspun wool,
'James' is now available! This newest addition to the Nude Ewe line was
named after the Essex-based spinner who turned a lonely Norfolk Horn fleece
into lovely, springy 4-ply/DK weight wool.
Our entire supply of
James came from a single ewe from Knocking Hoe National Nature Reserve,
making this a truly limited edition wool! It is soft enough to be worn next
to the skin, making it ideal for hats, mittens or - if paired with another
soft wool - scarves or shawls. Check it out! |

Meet 'Manx DK',
our newest family member!
 |
Manx DK comes to us
from the Wildlife Trust flock at Pegsdon Hills Nature Reserve. This lovely
red-brown wool is hard wearing and just the thing to get stuck into now that
winter is almost here! Manx is available in 50g balls
for £3.50 each. Details are available on our
Products page.
Proceeds from Manx DK
sales go towards the Wildlife Trust to support their grazing programme,
which includes The Nude Ewe's sister project
GrazeBeds. |

Attention all Bedfordshire knitters,
crocheters, spinners and other wool lovers! Come to Flitwick Village Hall on
