Valais Blacknose sheep
‘A close up of one of the Valais Blacknose sheep from Tommintoul. That’s my hand with the watch giving the sheep a scratch. They are an incredibly friendly breed.’ – Jeni Reid

Contact us
Established in November 2011, Wovember is both a celebration of wool and a campaign for clearer labelling and descriptions of garments. Team Wovember comprises Felicity Ford, Louise Scollay, Kate Davies and Tom van Deijnen.
You can contact us at wovember@gmail.com.
Wovember is about showing our collective appreciation of wool by wearing as much of this fabulous fibre as possible and by celebrating its unique qualities in stories and pictures throughout the month of November. Through our enthusiasm and creativity we can raise awareness of what makes wool different, and jointly create a force for wool appreciation strong enough to effect changes in how garments and textiles are described and marketed.

These sheep are at the top of the “adorable” queue!
I’d spin his wool any day! 🙂
The woolly coat of them are so soft! Love to spin it and knit Shetland lace with it. 😊
They are such a crack-up! Not sheepy at all……….
