Tavistock Tastes and Textures

Tavistock Tastes and Textures We produce and sell hand-dyed pure Jacob DK and Light Aran wool in a range of rich heathery colours It is a joy to knit with and very warm.

We are a husband and wife team who run a 17-acre smallholding at Tor Grove Farm on the outskirts of Tavistock in Devon. We have a small flock of pedigree Jacob Sheep, and a few Jacob/Herdwick crosses. These provide the meat for our lamb and hogget boxes and the fleece for our wool products. We also raise pigs which we sell in half or quarter packs for the freezer. Jacob Sheep are a traditional bre

ed of sheep which produces lean, tender meat and a high quality fleece. They are fairly slow to mature and so our lambs are usually kept until they are around twelve months old (when they become hoggets). During this time they are fed primarily on grass and hay, this gives the meat its wonderful flavour. We shear the sheep once a year in June and send the best fleeces to be commercially spun. The resulting mid-grey/brown yarn is then hand-dyed to achieve a range of rich, heathery colours..
