Glyn Canol Old Farm

We are a small rare breed farm located in beautiful Mid Wales. Glyn Canol Old Farm had been an abandoned dwelling for over 80 years so it took a bit of renovating before starting on the outside areas ready for the livestock. At the end of December 2015 we moved from Warwickshire where we bred and showed rare breed poultry and were active members of the local Rare Breed Survival Trust Support Group.

Our journey with rare breed cattle and sheep started April 2016 and we now have several breeds of sheep for their wool and meat (hogget and mutton). We have Original Population Dairy Shorthorn giving us milk for ourselves and meat occasionally. 

We also sell registered pedigree stock and sheep suitable for fleece flocks/pets.

The Wild Welsh Wool part of the business followed in July 2017 and now runs peg loom weaving, felted fleece, felted slippers and tapestry courses, attends markets, shows, WI talks and takes commissions. We regularly attend Montgomery market on Thursdays. 

Shows we will attend in 2025: Wonderwool (26th & 27th April), Smallholding and Countryside Festival (17th & 18th May), Berriew Show (23rd August),  The London Sheep Drive (28th September), Stafford Wool Gathering (18th & 19th October), Holland & Sherry, Savile Row London. (October dates to be confirmed), 

What our customers say ...

[...] Sharon is a patient and kind teacher and host, and the location is beautiful. Although she does online courses, I'd definitely recommend spending the day there - you learn loads from chatting with other like-minded crafters and Sharon herself. Sharon has a lovely well equipt workshop and small holding, and a wealth of knowledge about all things wool!

Thank you for doing another great course, thoroughly enjoyed.
Gillian Williams
Sharon is very knowledgeable in all courses that she teaches and has an amazing laid back personality which gives a great ambience for learning. Hospitality on her at home courses is so natural and amazing. Pure country and real. Thank you.

I ordered beautiful natural locks from Wild Welsh Wool they are so gorgeous that I use them in my felt art 🥰

I did the wet felting a rug tutorial. it was really informative and Sharon was so helpful. Would usually prefer to do this in person but I feel that it was made so easy over zoom and wouldn't hesitate to try other courses available this way. I want to try the peg loom weaving course next. Would definitely highly recommend Wild Welsh Wool.

Sharon your courses are amazing! first time for me was Woolly Weekend 2024, such a friendly relaxed atmosphere to both learn and meet other like minded people. I have gone on to get my own peg loom and at long last start processing my own fleeces. I will be back for more courses this year

I've done a couple of courses with Wild Welsh Wool and they're terrific. Sharon is a wonderful teacher - patient, kind and knowledgeable. She helped me create a wonderful shawl which has had many compliments, and a bespoke seat pad for my favourite chair! She also provided materials, advice and help after the course, which helped me create a beautiful wool runner for my pew.

I love your posts ! You have introduced me to new ways of working with wool. The pegloom is new to me and also the felted sheep rug. Living in the Canadian Arctic ,I don't know if I will ever have a chance to do this but dream of the possibility anyway.

We are delighted with the rug, so soft. It makes a real statement in our room.
Kind regards Sandy
