00:00 Hi, I'm Sarah from Little Bow Sheep. Little Bow Sheep is the home of sheep inspired laundry
00:06 care and body care made with British wool and lanolin. So our best sellers are the 100%
00:12 wool laundry dryer balls. They go into your dryer, they bounce around, they separate the
00:16 clothes so the air circulates, naturally softens, so replacing the need for dryer sheets and
00:23 fabric softeners. And you can even scent them with a few drops of your favourite fragrance
00:27 and that will diffuse that through with the heat of the dryer. We also make wool wrapped
00:34 felted soaps. It's a lanolin bar of soap wrapped in the wool and you use it with the wool on
00:39 like having a built in flannel. What you'll notice that is different about our products
00:44 is that we make them with 100% British wool and we make them look like the different breeds
00:49 of sheep that the wool has actually come from. Wool is obviously the central ingredient to
00:56 our business and something we're very passionate about promoting. We won the Wool Innovation
01:02 Prize back in 2019 and as part of that I've now become a member of the worshipful company
01:07 Woolman which gave me the right to drive sheep over the Thames to market which was a great
01:14 way of raising awareness for the wool industry. And I've also done a TEDx talk on the subject
01:20 which was entitled A Magical Material. So we're a British wool licensee which means
01:27 that our wool can be traced back to British farms and it's really important to us to be
01:32 supporting our farmers and if we can generate the demand for the magical material that is
01:38 wool then we should be driving more money back into their pockets at the end of the
01:43 day. Every year we try and do a limited edition range that we can actually name the different
01:52 wool back to the sheep that it's actually come from as well and for that we donate back
01:57 to the Rare Breeds Survival Trust.
