For 15 years Viv has raised Shetland Sheep on her smallholding in Mid Devon with the aim of producing not only prize-winning pedigree, registered breeding stock but also beautiful natural coloured fine fleece for spinners and crafters. The sheep graze natural wildflower meadows on Wembworthy Down alongside laying hens, weaner pigs, orchards and vegetables and with numerous skylarks, wild bees, dung beetles and Barn Owls who nest regularly in the shed.

Fleeces in all the natural colours are available, raw, washed or ready carded. Hand spun yarns are also available at Station Yard Farm Shop, Eggesford.
