Born black, but turning grey into adulthood, Herdwick Sheep are hardy sheep that spend their days on the pastures and slopes of English mountainsides. Did you know? Herdwick Sheep were helped from becoming extinct by no other than Beatrix Potter! This cute crochet animal project forms part of our Edward’s Menagerie collection and is a welcome member of the TOFT crochet sheep herd.
