About

Flock is a studio/workshop and store owned by craftsman Jamie Lewis who has been working as a felt maker since 2003. Flock was originally product branding for his signature felt animal collection reflecting both a term for a group of animals and the wool stuffing material, particularly when used in saddling. Over the years Jamie has introduced related products to his range.

We work by hand, turning wool into felt components using water, olive oil soap and a domestic washing machine. Once washed, we reshape them, leave them to dry and shave them with a beard trimmer to get a nice smooth finish.

We hand cut pieces from sheets of wool felt and stitch the parts together with wool yarns by hand or cotton threads on a sewing machine that's as old as Jamie himself. We'll usually work on large batches of one particular thing at a time to keep things efficient.

We print and cut all our own branding and packaging from recycled card and attach to our products with natural string or yarn. Where possible we include information about the wools we've used.

We pack your orders in recycled tissue paper, brown paper, newsprint and recycled or reused cardboard boxes and eco jiffy bags and we use paper tape instead of plastic. Sometimes we re-use plastic packing that we have received materials in to fill spaces in boxes or envelopes or for extra protection, please think about reusing this yourself before recycling.
