The full story
About Chimney Sheep
Chimney Sheep began in Cumbria in 2012 when founder Sally Phillips developed a chimney draught excluder made from Herdwick wool. The company says its Chimney Sheep products are supplied from its Workington warehouse and it now sells a wider range of practical household, garden and wool products online. Through Operation Wool, it buys Herdwick wool directly from Cumbrian farmers, while some processing stages and selected products involve specialist partners elsewhere in Britain. This listing should therefore describe the business as Cumbrian-designed and Cumbrian-based rather than claiming every item in its catalogue is wholly manufactured within the county. The site is primarily an online retailer and operational base; check directly before attempting to visit.
