King Charles' Sheep Now Weaving Luxury Wool Blankets
30 Nov
Summary
- Sandringham Estate is selling blankets made from 100% lamb's wool.
- The wool originates from King Charles' personal flock of 3,000 Aberfield sheep.
- The initiative aligns with the King's commitment to sustainable farming practices.
The Sandringham Estate gift shop is now offering luxurious blankets made entirely from lamb's wool, sourced directly from King Charles' personal flock. Approximately 3,000 Aberfield sheep graze on the estate's organic pastures, contributing to soil health and producing this premium wool. These thick, green blankets are perfectly timed for the upcoming cold weather, offering a sustainable and unique product.
This initiative is a testament to King Charles's ongoing commitment to sustainable practices and organic farming. Since taking over the estate in 2017, he has implemented agroforestry and restored various garden features. The Aberfield sheep, besides providing wool for these exclusive blankets, also yield organic, grass-fed meat sold on the estate.
The King and Queen are expected to spend the festive break at Sandringham with members of the royal family. This tradition includes attending Christmas Day services and interacting with the public. The estate continues to be a hub of royal activity and a showcase for the King's passion for environmental stewardship and agricultural innovation.
