Meet The Sheep Farmers

Valkkyries Stud, Marwick

These cuties belong to farmers Toni (a retired social worker and NHS nurse) and her husband Marty from Marwick, Orkney

Toni and Marty breed Valais Blacknose Sheep and also keep a small flock of Kerry Hill Sheep.

The Valais Blacknose Sheep are the growers of the beautiful white curls that adorn some of my hand woven wool rugs. I hope to trial the Kerry Hill Fleece in 2026.

Valkkyries Valais Wool Rugs

One of the prototype rugs made from Valais fleece

Valais Black Nose Fleece is often overlooked but we have found a great purpose for it. Peg loom hand woven rugs show off those wild curls and the contrasting black within the white fleece.
