They use \u003ca title=\"Wool sleeping bag filling, Lavalan\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lavalan.com\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLavalan® alpine wool\u003c\/a\u003e to fill the sleeping bag. This wool comes exclusively from sheep all over Europe. They graze in the idyllic surroundings of the Austrian and Swiss Alps or they are kept in natural conditions on vast pastures in Norway and Sweden. The independent Swiss company EGOTRACE certifies the company’s supply chain, so they can prove the origin of the wool from sheep to the finished product.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy does wool work well in a sleeping bag?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWool is already used in duvets, mattresses and mattress toppers so why not sleeping bags?! Wool is after all the perfect natural insulator that we’ve been using for centuries and has been proven to give you a better night’s sleep (very important after an active day!). Here are a few reasons why wool is perfect for using in a sleeping bag:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt’s a natural insulator - Wool is a hygroscopic fibre. As the humidity of the surrounding air rises and falls, the fibre absorbs and releases water vapour. Heat is generated and retained during the absorption phase, which makes wool a natural insulator. Perfect for keeping you warm!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt’s multi-climatic - Thanks to its hygroscopic abilities, wool constantly reacts to changes in body temperature, maintaining its wearer’s thermophysical comfort in both cold and warm weather. Perfect for the unpredictable outdoor weather!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt’s breathable - wool fibres are crimped, and when tightly packed together, form millions of tiny pockets of air. This unique structure allows it to absorb and release moisture—either in the atmosphere or perspiration from the wearer—without compromising its thermal efficiency. Wool has a large capacity to absorb moisture vapour (up to 30 per cent of its own weight) next to the skin, making it extremely breathable. Perfect for ensuring you sweat less!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt’s odour resistant - Wool is far more efficient than other textiles at absorbing sweat and releasing it into the air before bacteria have a chance to develop and produce unpleasant body odour. Perfect for smelling fresh at night (even after your active day!).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWool is also renewable, sustainable and a much more ethical option to traditional down.

They use lavalan® alpine wool to fill the sleeping bag. This wool comes exclusively from sheep all over Europe. They graze in the idyllic surroundings of the Austrian and Swiss Alps or they are kept in natural conditions on vast pastures in Norway and Sweden. The independent Swiss company EGOTRACE certifies the company’s supply chain, so they can prove the origin of the wool from sheep to the finished product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy does wool work well in a sleeping bag?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWool is already used in duvets, mattresses and mattress toppers so why not sleeping bags?! Wool is after all the perfect natural insulator that we’ve been using for centuries and has been proven to give you a better night’s sleep (very important after an active day!). Here are a few reasons why wool is perfect for using in a sleeping bag:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt’s a natural insulator - Wool is a hygroscopic fibre. As the humidity of the surrounding air rises and falls, the fibre absorbs and releases water vapour. Heat is generated and retained during the absorption phase, which makes wool a natural insulator. Perfect for keeping you warm!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt’s multi-climatic - Thanks to its hygroscopic abilities, wool constantly reacts to changes in body temperature, maintaining its wearer’s thermophysical comfort in both cold and warm weather. Perfect for the unpredictable outdoor weather!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt’s breathable - wool fibres are crimped, and when tightly packed together, form millions of tiny pockets of air. This unique structure allows it to absorb and release moisture—either in the atmosphere or perspiration from the wearer—without compromising its thermal efficiency. Wool has a large capacity to absorb moisture vapour (up to 30 per cent of its own weight) next to the skin, making it extremely breathable. Perfect for ensuring you sweat less!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt’s odour resistant - Wool is far more efficient than other textiles at absorbing sweat and releasing it into the air before bacteria have a chance to develop and produce unpleasant body odour. Perfect for smelling fresh (even after your active day!)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWool is also renewable, sustainable and a much more ethical option to traditional down.

Perfect for keeping you warm!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt’s multi-climatic - Thanks to its hygroscopic abilities, wool constantly reacts to changes in body temperature, maintaining its wearer’s thermophysical comfort in both cold and warm weather.

Wool has a large capacity to absorb moisture vapour (up to 30 per cent of its own weight) next to the skin, making it extremely breathable. Perfect for ensuring you sweat less!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt’s odour resistant - Wool is far more efficient than other textiles at absorbing sweat and releasing it into the air, before bacteria has a chance to develop and produce unpleasant body odour.

There is a place for plastics and often they are the best, most practical materials. The main issue is virgin plastics which are a BIG contributor to climate change which has meant some plastic producers have looked to new, more sustainable raw materials to create bioplastics. Enter sugarcane! Sugarcane has emerged as an important ingredient to substitute for petroleum in the production of plastics. Bioplastics made of sugarcane have the same benefits as ‘normal’ petroleum-based plastics but are sustainable. In fact, each metric ton of bioplastic made from sugar cane produced avoids the emission of 2 to 2.5 metric tons of carbon dioxide on a lifecycle basis. Here are a few reasons why bioplastic is an eco-friendlier option to traditional plastic: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSugarcane absorbs CO2 – when sugarcane grows, just like all other plants and trees, it absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo fossil fuels required - Oil-based plastics (the ‘traditional’ plastics) require oil (surprise, surprise) to be made. To get this oil, it needs to be mined for. Not only is the process of drilling and mining carbon intensive but when we extract the oil, carbon is also released from the Earth’s soil into the air. That’s all before we’ve even used the energy needed to turn the oil into plastic which (spoiler alert) is also a carbon inducive process. An increase in CO2 in the atmosphere, as we well know, is what drives climate change. The very nature of bioplastics is to use sustainable materials rather than relying on oil.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreated using renewable energy – sugarcane bioplastics are particularly eco-friendly. During the processing of sugarcane, a waste product known as bagasse is also produced. Bagasse is used to generate electricity which powers the ethanol production process. This, again, removes a carbon-inducive process.  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSugarcane is sustainable – sugarcane is a very resilient crop which means it can be grown in areas of poor arable land that would otherwise be wasted and unused.

Minimal in design yet long lasting, mugs like this retro-style enamel coated mug have had a renaissance in recent years for the luxe-loving campers. And for good reason too! This practical camping mug is 100% fit for purpose. Made of porcelain fused onto heavy-gauge steel, it is strong, long-lasting and ideal for being transported from adventure to adventure. Whatever the setting, this white enamel mug with blue rim will ensure that you can enjoy a brew or two in style. It is the best enamel mug for a morning caffeine hit before your day of exploration or a post-adventure hot chocolate. We have also used them for a quick cuppa-soup for a mid-hike pick me up! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs our vintage enamel mugs are made from steel, they can be recycled once they have come to the end of their long, long life (don’t worry, the enamel coating does not impact its ability to be turned into scrap metal). By recycling these enamelware camping mugs, the steel will be repurposed into something else - most often, cans! The use of scrap steel \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.recycle-more.co.uk\/what-can-i-recycle\/steel\" title=\"Recycle More website\" target=\"_blank\"\u003esaves up to 74% of the energy needed to make steel from virgin materials\u003c\/a\u003e which is incredible and why we should all be trying to recycle as much as we can as well as use products made of recycled materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnamel on steel is hard and strong but like all good ceramic materials, it may chip if handled roughly or dropped. If this happens, don’t panic. The enamel coated mugs are still perfectly safe to use as the steel will naturally oxidise. Plus, we think it adds a bit of vintage character anyway! We like to think of these enamel mugs as the Levi jeans or Chanel bags of the outdoor tableware world. Classic, reliable, long lasting and they just get better with age. We’ve got enamel mugs ourselves which are still going strong after 20 years! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat contexts can I use these enamel mugs in? \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese luxury outdoor enamel coated mugs are perfect for anyone who wants to add a touch of aesthetic extravagance to their outdoor adventure.

These enamelware mugs can withstand temperatures of up to 270 degrees Celsius which makes them perfect for camping.

They are two rather different wool types but when woven together, are a match made in heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe undyed Herdwick wool fibres show off the range of naturally occurring grey shades, making each rug completely unique. Being a coarser fibre, the Herdwick wool also adds durability, quality and structure to the rug. Texel wool, on the other hand, is a traditional ‘white’ wool. It is finer and softer which helps to create a more tactile rug that your feet will love!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe're often told that Herdwick wool is too attractive to be stuck up the chimney as a Chimney Sheep. It's taken a while to source the expertise to weave the Herdwick wool into a rug.

If you’ve got a house with floorboards, particularly wooden floorboards and floorboards in older houses, you might find that there are cracks. These cracks will most likely be letting in cold air.  Putting a rug down can be a great way to block those draughts and stop the cold air coming through your floorboards, making your home cosier and more comfortable.

The fact this grey rug is made from 100% wool, a natural material, means that it is a much more environmentally friendly option than synthetic fibre rugs. Synthetic fibres are made from plastic and we are all well versed on the environmental issues around the manufacturing of plastics and the disposal of plastics. Wool, on the other hand, is a natural material that, in this case, comes from a sheep. Sheep need to be sheared on a yearly basis for their health and welfare making it a more ethical product with less of a carbon footprint than plastic fibres. Our rugs should last you many years but, like anything, it will eventually have its' day and need to be disposed of. The great thing about wool is that it is 100% compostable so you can just put it on a compost heap and it will completely break down (no microplastics!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe leave the wool undyed.

As the humidity of the surrounding air rises and falls, the fibre absorbs and releases water vapour. Heat is generated and retained during the absorption phase, which makes wool a natural insulator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBreathable\u003c\/strong\u003e - wool fibres are crimped, and when tightly packed together, form millions of tiny pockets of air. This unique structure allows it to absorb and release moisture—either in the atmosphere or perspiration from the wearer—without compromising its thermal efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy Care\u003c\/strong\u003e - the protective waxy coating on wool fibres makes wool products resistant to staining and they also pick up less dust as wool is naturally anti-static.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHypoallergenic\u003c\/strong\u003e – wool is not known to cause allergies and does not promote the growth of bacteria, mould or mildew.

Although a little more expensive upfront, just think about cost per use! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur enamel cereal bowls from our Classic Set are also a bit weightier and feel a bit more ‘special’.

This, of course, is completely valid which is exactly why we have added our Classic Set of enamel tableware to our selection of outdoor tableware.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of our enamelware is much stronger than our recycled plastic alternatives which ensures that they last throughout all your camping and travel adventures for years and years. In the context of single use plates, enamel plates are a more sustainable alternative, reducing the use and disposal of many sets of paper and plastic dishes. Although a little more expensive upfront, just think about cost per use! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur enamel espresso cups from our Classic Set are also a bit weightier and feel a bit more ‘special’. There are some contexts when recycled plastic tableware just doesn’t fit the bill. Some people don’t really like the ‘taste’ of drinking hot drinks from plastic mugs, so these enamel espresso cups are a great alternative.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes plastic (recycled or not) isn’t the right material to use for certain uses.  For example, cooking on gas stoves whilst camping can cause difficulties when using plastic camping gear. These enamelware mugs can withstand temperatures of up to 270 degrees Celsius so are perfect to use when camping. Unlike the plastic alternatives, our enamel espresso cups can be used for heating and serving (less washing up – hooray!).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chimney Sheep","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45923313025330,"sku":"ET005","price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/7322\/5010\/files\/CLASSICENAMELESPRESSOCUP1.jpg?v=1690546083"},{"product_id":"tyan-grey-wool-rug-small","title":"Herdwick Wool Natural Grey Rug - Small (90cm x 160cm)","description":"\u003ch4\u003eTell us more about the small Herdwick Wool Rug\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur pure wool rugs feel beautiful, look beautiful and help to keep your home cosy. Each rug is handmade with 100% wool sourced from UK farms, which means, unlike many rugs on the market, it is made with all natural materials and is synthetic fibre free. Not only is that good for your home but it is also sustainable and more environmentally friendly too.  You can read about how we source our wool \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/pages\/operation-wool\" title=\"Operation Wool\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur rugs are rather special as each one is hand-woven on an old-fashioned wooden loom. The yarn used is made by spinning together wool from two breeds of sheep. The smiley Herdwick sheep and the frowny Texel sheep. They are two rather different wool types but when woven together, are a match made in heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe undyed Herdwick wool fibres show off the range of naturally occurring grey shades, making each rug completely unique. Being a coarser fibre, the Herdwick wool also adds durability, quality and structure to the rug. Texel wool, on the other hand, is a traditional ‘white’ wool. It is finer and softer which helps to create a more tactile rug that your feet will love!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe're often told that Herdwick wool is too attractive to be stuck up the chimney as a Chimney Sheep. It's taken a while to source the expertise to weave the Herdwick wool into a rug. The wool is coarse and wiry, but by combining it with another Lake District wool, the softer Texel, we can at last bring you these artisan rugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThis wool rug is beautiful, but is it also functional?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHave you only just met us?

If you’ve got a house with floorboards, particularly wooden floorboards and floorboards in older houses, you might find that there are cracks. These cracks will most likely be letting in cold air.  Putting a rug down can be a great way to block those draughts and stop the cold air coming through your floorboards, making your home cosier and more comfortable. If you wanted to add an extra draught-proofing measure to the cracks in your floorboards, we recommend taking a look at our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/wool-gap-filler\" title=\"Chimney Sheep Wool Gap Filler\"\u003ewool gap filler\u003c\/a\u003e which is a great product to fill them with!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re looking for other draught proofing options, we’ve got plenty of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/other-draught-excluders\" title=\"Chimney Sheep Other Draught Excluders\"\u003edraught proofing options\u003c\/a\u003e for your home (and lots of them utilising wool too!) including our best-selling \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/chimney-sheep\" title=\"Chimney Sheep Chimney Draught Excluders\"\u003eChimney Sheep® draught excluder\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/organic-cotton-door-draught-excluder\" title=\"Chimney Sheep Organic Cotton Door Draught Excluders\"\u003edoor draught excluders\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/wool-draught-seal-tape-for-doors-and-windows\" title=\"Chimney Sheep Draught Seal Tape\"\u003ewindow draught seal tape\u003c\/a\u003e and more!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are this wool rug’s eco-credentials?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are going to choose a rug, this one will be one of the most sustainable choices for your home. The fact this grey rug is made from 100% wool, a natural material, means that it is a much more environmentally friendly option than synthetic fibre rugs. Synthetic fibres are made from plastic and we are all well versed on the environmental issues around the manufacturing of plastics and the disposal of plastics. Wool, on the other hand, is a natural material that, in this case, comes from a sheep. Sheep need to be sheared on a yearly basis for their health and welfare making it a more ethical product with less of a carbon footprint than plastic fibres. Our rugs should last you many years but, like anything, it will eventually have it’s day and need to be disposed of. The great thing about wool is that it is 100% compostable so you can just put it on a compost heap and it will completely break down (no microplastics!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWe leave the wool undyed.

Here are some of the biggest benefits to have wool in your home:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsulating - wool is a hygroscopic fibre. As the humidity of the surrounding air rises and falls, the fibre absorbs and releases water vapour. Heat is generated and retained during the absorption phase, which makes wool a natural insulator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreathable - wool fibres are crimped, and when tightly packed together, form millions of tiny pockets of air. This unique structure allows it to absorb and release moisture—either in the atmosphere or perspiration from the wearer—without compromising its thermal efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Care - the protective waxy coating on wool fibres makes wool products resistant to staining and they also pick up less dust as wool is naturally anti-static.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHypoallergenic – wool is not known to cause allergies and does not promote the growth of bacteria, mould or mildew. It can even reduce floating dust in the atmosphere, as the fibres’ microscopic scales are able to trap and hold dust in the top layers until vacuumed away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlame retardant - thanks to its high water and nitrogen content, wool is naturally flame-retardant, and has a far higher ignition threshold than many other fibres, will not melt and stick to the skin causing burns, and produces less noxious fumes that cause death in fire situations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbsorbs VOCs – wool is able to absorb high volatile compounds – such as formaldehyde. These are in the air all around us, especially in new products and furniture, things that have been varnished, things that smell “new”.  The VOC’s bind permanently with the keratin in the wool fibre.

And for good reason too! This vintage style Billycan is 100% fit for purpose. Made of porcelain fused onto heavy-gauge steel, it is strong, long-lasting and ideal for being transported from adventure to adventure. Whatever the setting, this white enamel Billycan with blue rim will ensure that you can enjoy a caffeine hit in style.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs our retro billycans are made from steel, they can be recycled once they have come to the end of their long, long life (don’t worry, the enamel coating does not impact its ability to be turned into scrap metal).

The use of scrap steel \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.recycle-more.co.uk\/what-can-i-recycle\/steel\" title=\"Recycle More website\" target=\"_blank\"\u003esaves up to 74% of the energy needed to make steel from virgin materials\u003c\/a\u003e which is incredible and why we should all be trying to recycle as much as we can as well as use products made of recycled materials.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnamel on steel is hard and strong but like all good ceramic materials, it may chip if handled roughly or dropped.

We like to think of our enamelware as the Levi jeans or Chanel bags of the outdoor tableware world. Classic, reliable, long lasting and they just get better with age.

They are two rather different wool types but when woven together, are a match made in heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe undyed Herdwick wool fibres show off the range of naturally occurring grey shades, making each rug completely unique. Being a coarser fibre, the Herdwick wool also adds durability, quality and structure to the rug. Texel wool, on the other hand, is a traditional ‘white’ wool. It is finer and softer which helps to create a more tactile rug that your feet will love! At 5.5kg, each rug contains the wool of 7 sheep! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe're often told that Herdwick wool is too attractive to be stuck up the chimney as a Chimney Sheep. It's taken a while to source the expertise to weave the Herdwick wool into a rug. The wool is coarse and wiry, but by combining it with another Lake District wool, the softer Texel, we can at last bring you these artisan rugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThis wool rug is beautiful, but is it also functional? \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHave you only just met us? Of course it’s functional too! As you may know, we live and breathe draught-proofing and a rug can be a really great way of draught-proofing your floor. If you’ve got a house with floorboards, particularly wooden floorboards and floorboards in older houses, you might find that there are cracks. These cracks will most likely be letting in cold air.  Putting a rug down can be a great way to block those draughts and stop the cold air coming through your floorboards, making your home cosier and more comfortable. If you wanted to add an extra draught-proofing measure to the cracks in your floorboards, we recommend taking a look at our \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Wool Gap Filler\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/wool-gap-filler\"\u003ewool gap filler\u003c\/a\u003e which is a great product to fill them with!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObviously, if you’ve already got a carpet down, you may not have any issues with draughts coming through your floorboards, in which case you can enjoy the beauty and tactility of our T’yan Wool Rug (which in our opinion, is pretty special in itself).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re looking for other draught proofing options, we’ve got plenty of \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Other Draught Excluders\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/other-draught-excluders\"\u003edraught proofing options\u003c\/a\u003e for your home (and lots of them utilising wool too!) including our best-selling \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Chimney Draught Excluders\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/chimney-sheep\"\u003eChimney Sheep® draught excluder\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Cotton Door Draught Excluders\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/organic-cotton-door-draught-excluder\"\u003edoor draught excluders\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Draught Seal Tape for Doors and Windows\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/wool-draught-seal-tape-for-doors-and-windows\"\u003ewindow draught seal tape\u003c\/a\u003e and more!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are this wool rug’s eco-credentials?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are going to choose a rug, this one will be one of the most sustainable choices for your home. The fact this grey rug is made from 100% wool, a natural material, means that it is a much more environmentally friendly option than synthetic fibre rugs. Synthetic fibres are made from plastic and we are all well versed on the environmental issues around the manufacturing of plastics and the disposal of plastics. Wool, on the other hand, is a natural material that, in this case, comes from a sheep. Sheep need to be sheared on a yearly basis for their health and welfare making it a more ethical product with less of a carbon footprint than plastic fibres. Our rugs should last you many years but, like anything, it will eventually have its day and need to be disposed of. The great thing about wool is that it is 100% compostable so you can just put it on a compost heap and it will completely break down (no microplastics!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe leave the wool undyed.

Here are some of the biggest benefits to have wool in your home:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsulating - wool is a hygroscopic fibre. As the humidity of the surrounding air rises and falls, the fibre absorbs and releases water vapour. Heat is generated and retained during the absorption phase, which makes wool a natural insulator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreathable - wool fibres are crimped, and when tightly packed together, form millions of tiny pockets of air. This unique structure allows it to absorb and release moisture—either in the atmosphere or perspiration from the wearer—without compromising its thermal efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Care - the protective waxy coating on wool fibres makes wool products resistant to staining and they also pick up less dust as wool is naturally anti-static.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHypoallergenic – wool is not known to cause allergies and does not promote the growth of bacteria, mould or mildew. It can even reduce floating dust in the atmosphere, as the fibres’ microscopic scales are able to trap and hold dust in the top layers until vacuumed away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlame retardant - thanks to its high water and nitrogen content, wool is naturally flame-retardant, and has a far higher ignition threshold than many other fibres, will not melt and stick to the skin causing burns, and produces less noxious fumes that cause death in fire situations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbsorbs VOCs – wool is able to absorb high volatile compounds – such as formaldehyde. These are in the air all around us, especially in new products and furniture, things that have been varnished, things that smell “new”.  The VOC’s bind permanently with the keratin in the wool fibre.

Not only is it a pleasing size, but it's also wonderfully multipurpose too.

Nachos, chips, and dips to share, anyone?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the van lifers with water conservation on their minds, or even those taking steps to reduce water waste at home this bowl will look perfect placed in any sink or basin to catch grey water from washing the dishes or brushing your teeth. You can then simply pop the water straight into the garden from the bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis big bowl is actually so aesthetically pleasing, it would look right at home in any kitchen cupboard, or as part of any sharing bowl set.

Minimal, yet robust and long-lasting, these rustic-style enamel-coated bowls have made a resurgence with their popularity growing among outdoor enthusiasts and family adventurers alike. Practical enamelware such as this large enamel bowl is completely fit for purpose. It's made of porcelain fused onto heavy-gauge steel. This means it's long-lasting, tough, and perfect for transportation - there's little risk of the bowl cracking!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRustic, yet classic in design this white bowl with blue rims will fit the bill in any outdoor dining situation - it's big, practical, and incredibly easy to maintain - perfect for sharing food on a mountainside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis large enamelware bowl is strong, ceramic bonded to steel is very tough stuff. But, like anything related to porcelain, this bowl may chip if it's dropped one too many times. Please don't worry if this happens though, any exposed steel will just oxidise, adding a touch of history and character to your bowl. If you really wanted you could cover the chip with a little food-safe varnish or similar - but we think a little wear and tear just makes the bowls look even better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen enamelware finally wears out, after a long, long life - it can be fully recycled like any other steel item (not to worry the enamel coating doesn't affect a thing).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe use of scrap steel \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.recycle-more.co.uk\/what-can-i-recycle\/steel\" title=\"Recycle More website\"\u003esaves up to 74% of the energy needed to make steel from virgin materials\u003c\/a\u003e which is incredible and why we should all be trying to recycle as much as we can as well as use products made of recycled materials.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHave you got any other enamelware available, so I can make a set? \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, we do!

Whether you were in the Girl Guides or Scouts, enamel dishware was a must have when collecting your badges. Minimal in design yet long lasting, these retro-style enamel coated plates have had a renaissance in recent years for the luxe-loving campers. And for good reason too! These practical enamel plates are 100% fit for purpose. Made of porcelain fused onto heavy-gauge steel, they are strong, long-lasting and ideal for being transported from adventure to adventure. Whatever the setting, these white enamel camping plates with blue rims will ensure that you can dine in style.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs these enamel picnic plates are made from steel, they can be recycled once they have come to the end of their long, long life (don’t worry, the enamel coating does not impact its ability to be turned into scrap metal. By recycling the plates, the steel will be repurposed into something else - most often, cans! The use of scrap steel \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.recycle-more.co.uk\/what-can-i-recycle\/steel\" title=\"Recycle More website\" target=\"_blank\"\u003esaves up to 74% of the energy needed to make steel from virgin materials\u003c\/a\u003e which is incredible and why we should all be trying to recycle as much as we can as well as use products made of recycled materials.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnamel on steel is hard and strong but like all good ceramic materials, it may chip if handled roughly or dropped. If this happens, don’t panic. The plates are still perfectly safe to use as the steel will naturally oxidise. Plus, we think it adds a bit of vintage character anyway! We like to think of these enamel plates as the Levi jeans or Chanel bags of the outdoor tableware world. Classic, reliable, long lasting and they just get better with age. We’ve got enamel cups ourselves which are still going strong after 20 years! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat contexts can I use these enamel plates in? \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese luxury outdoor plates are perfect for anyone who wants to add a touch of aesthetic extravagance to their outdoor adventure.

If long camping trips and mountain adventures are your sort of thing, these plates also fit the bill!  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChimney Sheep HQ is based just on the edge of the Lake District.

In a lot of houses, particularly older ones, door draughts are an ongoing issue. Even in a new home, you might have removed a carpet to reveal a wooden floor but there is now a gap between the door and the floor. That gap may seem small, but it lets in a steady stream of cold air into your home. The result? A room that feels cold and a heating system that must work a lot harder to maintain a warm home (and yes, that does mean higher heating bills). Not what you want in the middle of winter!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo stop any draughts, the solution is to fill the gap. And this is exactly what our door draught-proofing cushion does! By sitting at the bottom of a door it is a really simple and cost-effective solution to a draughty door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur door draught excluders are filled with Herdwick wool. Our 80cm x 30cm door draught excluder cushions are not only larger than standard door draught stoppers but are also more robust. The weighted design allows the cushions to stay firmly in place, making them an efficient draught excluder. And they look great!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInvesting in a Chimney Sheep door draught excluder has been compared to sand-bagging your door against the cold – and we think that this is the perfect way to describe it!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is this door draught excluder made of?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outer of our door draught excluders are made of hessian jute coffee sacks which we source from a local, Cumbrian coffee roasters \u003ca title=\"Carvettii Coffee website\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carvetiicoffee.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCarvetii Coffee\u003c\/a\u003e (their coffee is great by the way – definitely worth checking it out!). These sacks vary according to the type of coffee and where it has been shipped from, so each draught excluder is unique which we think is pretty cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe filling for our door cushions is Herdwick wool which we collect from local farms for our Chimney Sheep chimney draught excluders. We always end up with more wool than we need so it's perfect to use for filling these door draught excluders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are the benefits of using wool in this door draught excluder?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe use wool as the filling to our door draught excluders. Wool is a natural product. Sheep spend their lives grazing and growing wool. This is clipped in the summer when it’s hot for their welfare. Then it all grows back in time to keep them warm in the winter as it is a natural insulator. This makes it the perfect material to keep our homes warm!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also has remarkable properties that enable it to absorb high volatile compounds (VOC’s) such as formaldehyde. Studies have shown that VOC’s bind permanently to the wool fibre, so they absorb it and never release it. Wool has been used to clean up environments where there are high levels of VOC’s. Having wool around your home will make it a cleaner, healthier and better environment to live in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat other ways can I draught-proof my home?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDraught-proofing your home will make your home more energy-efficient which will reduce your gas bills (or electricity bills depending on your heating system!) and make your home a little bit greener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have an open chimney, we always suggest starting there! An open chimney is often the biggest source of heat loss, actively sucking warm air out of your home. To stop this, you’ll need to use a chimney blocker of some sort which will stop that lovely warm air from escaping.

In a lot of houses, particularly older ones, door draughts are an ongoing issue. Even in a new home, you might have removed a carpet to reveal a wooden floor but there is now a gap between the door and the floor. That gap may seem small, but it lets in a steady stream of cold air into your home. The result? A room that feels cold and a heating system that must work a lot harder to maintain a warm home (and yes, that does mean higher heating bills). Not what you want in the middle of winter!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo stop any draughts, the solution is to fill the gap. And this is exactly what our door draught-proofing cushion does! By sitting at the bottom of a door it is a really simple and cost-effective solution to a draughty door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur door draught excluders are filled with Herdwick sheep wool. Our 90cm x 30cm door draught excluder cushions are not only larger than standard door draught stoppers but are also more robust. The weighted design allows the cushions to stay firmly in place, making them an efficient draught excluder. And they look great! Investing in a Chimney Sheep door draught excluder has been compared to sand-bagging your door against the cold – and we think that this is the perfect way to describe it\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is this door draught excluder made of?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outer covers of our door draught excluders are made using organic cotton. As you’ll see, we make them in a range of colours and patterns to ensure there is something to suit most home décor styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe filling for our door cushions is Herdwick wool which we collect from local farms for our Chimney Sheep chimney draught excluders. We always end up with more wool than we need so it's perfect to use for filling these door draught excluders. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy is using organic cotton good for the environment?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe purpose of organic cotton farming is to eliminate highly toxic substances (like toxic hazardous pesticides) from the growing process which benefits both people and the planet. This process is natural. To do this, farmers go back to the ‘old fashioned’ way of doing things by using natural systems and cycles to help grow crops. This includes crop rotation, green manures, no-till methods and composting. All of this makes the soil healthy which leads to better crop harvests without the need for harsh and potentially harmful chemicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNon-organic cotton farming relies on synthetic chemicals to grow such as nitrogen fertilisers and artificial pesticides, many of which are fossil-fuel based (and we all know what they do to the environment…). Removing these chemical inputs not only reduces the use of fossil fuels but also means that biodiversity can improve. This results in more bugs, bees, birds and worms! Any pest control that is used is completely natural and is only permitted under very restricted circumstances.

Wool is a natural product. Sheep spend their lives grazing and growing wool. This is clipped in the summer when it’s hot for their welfare. Then it all grows back in time to keep them warm in the winter as it is a natural insulator. This makes it the perfect material to keep our homes warm!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also has remarkable properties that enable it to absorb high volatile compounds (VOC’s) such as formaldehyde. Studies have shown that VOC’s bind permanently to the wool fibre, so they absorb it and never release it. Wool has been used to clean up environments where there are high levels of VOC’s. Having wool around your home will make it a cleaner, healthier and better environment to live in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat other ways can I draught-proof my home?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDraught-proofing your home will make your home more energy-efficient which will reduce your gas bills (or electricity bills depending on your heating system!) and make your home a little bit greener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have an open chimney, we always suggest starting there! An open chimney is often the biggest source of heat loss, actively sucking warm air out of your home. To stop this, you’ll need to use a chimney blocker of some sort which will stop that lovely warm air from escaping. This can be done with something like our fantastic \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/chimney-sheep\" title=\"Chimney Sheep collection\"\u003eChimney Sheep® draught excluders\u003c\/a\u003e.

They are two rather different wool types but when woven together, are a match made in heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe undyed Herdwick wool fibres show off the range of naturally occurring grey shades, making each rug completely unique. Being a coarser fibre, the Herdwick wool also adds durability, quality and structure to the rug. Texel wool, on the other hand, is a traditional ‘white’ wool. It is finer and softer which helps to create a more tactile rug that your feet will love!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe're often told that Herdwick wool is too attractive to be stuck up the chimney as a Chimney Sheep. It's taken a while to source the expertise to weave the Herdwick wool into a rug.

If you’ve got a house with floorboards, particularly wooden floorboards and floorboards in older houses, you might find that there are cracks. These cracks will most likely be letting in cold air.  Putting a rug down can be a great way to block those draughts and stop the cold air coming through your floorboards, making your home cosier and more comfortable. If you wanted to add an extra draught-proofing measure to the cracks in your floorboards, we recommend taking a look at our \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Wool Gap Filler\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/wool-gap-filler\"\u003ewool gap filler\u003c\/a\u003e which is a great product to fill them with!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObviously, if you’ve already got a carpet down, you may not have any issues with draughts coming through your floorboards, in which case you can enjoy the beauty and tactility of our T’yan Wool Rug (which in our opinion, is pretty special in itself).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re looking for other draught proofing options, we’ve got plenty of \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Other Draught Excluders\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/other-draught-excluders\"\u003edraught proofing options\u003c\/a\u003e for your home (and lots of them utilising wool too!) including our best-selling \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Chimney Draught Excluder\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/collections\/chimney-sheep\"\u003eChimney Sheep® draught excluder\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Organic Cotton Door Draught Excluders\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/organic-cotton-door-draught-excluder\"\u003edoor draught excluders\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Draught Seal Tape for Doors and Windows\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/wool-draught-seal-tape-for-doors-and-windows\"\u003ewindow draught seal tape\u003c\/a\u003e and more!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are this wool rug’s eco-credentials?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are going to choose a rug, this one will be one of the most sustainable choices for your home. The fact this grey rug is made from 100% wool, a natural material, means that it is a much more environmentally friendly option than synthetic fibre rugs. Synthetic fibres are made from plastic and we are all well versed on the environmental issues around the manufacturing of plastics and the disposal of plastics. Wool, on the other hand, is a natural material that, in this case, comes from a sheep. Sheep need to be sheared on a yearly basis for their health and welfare making it a more ethical product with less of a carbon footprint than plastic fibres. Our rugs should last you many years but, like anything, it will eventually have it’s day and need to be disposed of. The great thing about wool is that it is 100% compostable so you can just put it on a compost heap and it will completely break down (no microplastics!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have also made the conscious decision to leave the wool undyed. Dying can be an energy-intensive process and the chemicals in many dyes can be harmful to the environment. Plus, the multiple grey hues of the Herdwick wool makes each rug so unique and versatile to suit many interior styles. The undyed wool has a real beauty to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are the benefits of having wool in the home?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWool is a fantastic material to have in your home with a whole range of naturally occurring properties and a rug is a great way to include wool in your home in a stylish way! Here are some of the biggest benefits to have wool in your home:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsulating - wool is a hygroscopic fibre. As the humidity of the surrounding air rises and falls, the fibre absorbs and releases water vapour. Heat is generated and retained during the absorption phase, which makes wool a natural insulator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreathable - wool fibres are crimped, and when tightly packed together, form millions of tiny pockets of air. This unique structure allows it to absorb and release moisture—either in the atmosphere or perspiration from the wearer—without compromising its thermal efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Care - the protective waxy coating on wool fibres makes wool products resistant to staining and they also pick up less dust as wool is naturally anti-static.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHypoallergenic – wool is not known to cause allergies and does not promote the growth of bacteria, mould or mildew. It can even reduce floating dust in the atmosphere, as the fibres’ microscopic scales are able to trap and hold dust in the top layers until vacuumed away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlame retardant - thanks to its high water and nitrogen content, wool is naturally flame-retardant, and has a far higher ignition threshold than many other fibres, will not melt and stick to the skin causing burns, and produces less noxious fumes that cause death in fire situations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbsorbs VOCs – wool is able to absorb high volatile compounds – such as formaldehyde.

It's taken a while to source the expertise to weave the Herdwick wool into a rug.

If you’ve got a house with floorboards, particularly wooden floorboards and floorboards in older houses, you might find that there are cracks. These cracks will most likely be letting in cold air.  Putting a rug down can be a great way to block those draughts and stop the cold air coming through your floorboards, making your home cosier and more comfortable.

Synthetic fibres are made from plastic and we are all well versed on the environmental issues around the manufacturing of plastics and the disposal of plastics. Wool, on the other hand, is a natural material that, in this case, comes from a sheep. Sheep need to be sheared on a yearly basis for their health and welfare making it a more ethical product with less of a carbon footprint than plastic fibres. Our rugs should last you many years but, like anything, it will eventually have it’s day and need to be disposed of. The great thing about wool is that it is 100% compostable so you can just put it on a compost heap and it will completely break down (no microplastics!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe leave the wool undyed.

Here are some of the biggest benefits to have wool in your home:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsulating - wool is a hygroscopic fibre. As the humidity of the surrounding air rises and falls, the fibre absorbs and releases water vapour. Heat is generated and retained during the absorption phase, which makes wool a natural insulator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreathable - wool fibres are crimped, and when tightly packed together, form millions of tiny pockets of air. This unique structure allows it to absorb and release moisture—either in the atmosphere or perspiration from the wearer—without compromising its thermal efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Care - the protective waxy coating on wool fibres makes wool products resistant to staining and they also pick up less dust as wool is naturally anti-static.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHypoallergenic – wool is not known to cause allergies and does not promote the growth of bacteria, mould or mildew. It can even reduce floating dust in the atmosphere, as the fibres’ microscopic scales are able to trap and hold dust in the top layers until vacuumed away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlame retardant - thanks to its high water and nitrogen content, wool is naturally flame-retardant, and has a far higher ignition threshold than many other fibres, will not melt and stick to the skin causing burns, and produces less noxious fumes that cause death in fire situations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbsorbs VOCs – wool is able to absorb high volatile compounds – such as formaldehyde. These are in the air all around us, especially in new products and furniture, things that have been varnished, things that smell “new”.  The VOC’s bind permanently with the keratin in the wool fibre.
