Giftware & Online Shop
 All our knitted gifts are carefully handmade from Flock of Ages patterns, making them both original and unique. They include fine, durable Shropshire wool and may include hand-dyed yarns using colours obtained from plants and natural substances.
Owing to the individual nature of these items, there may be some variation in size and the finishing touches – such as ribbons, scarves and facial expressions. Please note that the unique nature of each item has made it impossible for us to obtain CE Toy Standard accreditation for most of our giftware. Our Shropshire lambs and some of our striped mice are, however, CE marked as toys. All our woollen gifts are made using pure, natural yarns and are stuffed with CE accredited toy stuffing.
All woollen items are supplied with a special Flock of Ages gift tag.
In addition, we sell Shropshire fleeces, wool rovings and spun wool in Double Knit and Aran weights. We also sell small quantities of Shropshire wool dyed in natural colours.
Other hand-made gifts available include Shropshire Sheep hanging basket brackets, each individually forged by a local blacksmith, and original cards from our own designs and notecards reproduced from watercolour tinted prints.

| Special Collectibles |
We also produce a range of unique Collectibles, each one knitted in Shropshire wool and often incorporating yarn that’s been hand-dyed using natural plant substances such as hedgerow sloes, buckthorn bark, Japanese indigo and madder (a favourite Medieval dyestuff).
The Special Collectibles range includes dolls in individual colours and styles, including the Medieval “Red Cap” and “Peterkin”, with felted clothing. We also produce character bears such as “Master and Commander Bear” and “Sigurd the Armoured Bear”. If you are interested in Special Collectibles, please email us for more details and availability (via the Contact Us page). |
