This is Sharon. She is a young sheep living on a farm in Yorkshire with her family. They all work together, too. They grow their woolly coats all year long and keep it nice and clean. Then their farmer friend shaves it all off just in time before they start to feel too warm. The wool then gets sold and turned into clothes for humans. Sharon doesn’t mind sharing her coat with us because she know we can’t grow our own. She has been saving her share of the profits to go on holiday to the Baaaa-hamas.

This pattern includes step-by-step images and written instructions.
