this 'stransborough grey' flock of sheep are the only flock in the world; a result of of many years of selective breeding and hard work.  there are also alpacas on the farm whose fibre adds warmth and variety to many of the end products.  the eldridge's (owners of the company) personally attend to the shearing, hand sorting and grading of the fleece of each animal.  after the fleece has been professionally spun, the yarn is then woven at their own small weaving mill in wellington, new zealand.
