Wild Welsh Wool rugs

Custom-made peg loom Welsh wool rug

We wanted to share a recent addition to our cottage… namely some fabulous, natural wool products.

Wild Wesh Wool floor rug

We’ve just bought a hand-made woollen rug, hearth mat and set of dining chair seat pads. They were all custom-made to size using a traditional peg loom by Sharon Smith of Wild Welsh Wool.

The wool comes from rare breed sheep that she keep on her farm. We originally saw a display of her products in a shop window in Montgomery. Sharon sells at the outdoor market in the town square (it’s held every Thursday) and at several other nearby markets.

She also takes orders and custom commissions through her Facebook page. In addition to the rugs and seat pads that we ordered, wall hangings, cushions, scarves and bags are also available.

We love the variety of tones & colours from the different types of sheep – and the texture is to die for!

They’re the perfect way to soften and warm a space in this old country cottage, especially with all the hard quarry tile and slate flag floors. We’re so happy with them!
