The owner of wool business Little Beau Sheep has now urged companies to use more British wool to help drive up demand for farmers.

While she didn’t have a background in agriculture, Sarah Turner, from Ilkley, grew up surrounded by farms with sheep of all breeds. After having her first child, she quickly learned that working in marketing for a global bank was not a suitable lifestyle for her. During a major house renovation in 2015, she moved into a rented flat with her family and that’s when inspiration struck to set up a wool business.

“It has so many amazing properties when you use it; it repels water but it’s also a massive water absorbent, it keeps you warm when it’s cold, it keeps you cool when it’s hot if you are wearing it, your knitted items don’t need washing as much as synthetic fibres. “Making them look like different breeds of sheep was my creative interpretation of that. “We use British wool. We also work directly with farmers.
