Time for the final gathering of the year - to bring down and wean the lambs. There’s a nip in the air and its starting to feel autumnal. Ed is thinking he could do with a hat, knitted from yarn spun from the fleeces from flock he is gathering. And so he shall have a hat. The pattern was designed for the WoolCircle Yarn, produced from the Lonk Sheep that live in the Calder valley.
