On some small islands off the coast of Nova Scotia, sheep are the only inhabitants. For over a century, North Country Cheviots have grazed these remote Atlantic islands, with generations of island breeding shaping a flock unlike any other. Once numbering in the thousands, the island&rsquo;s sheep population has declined over the past few decades. Today, passionate local farmers are working to keep this unique farming tradition alive and economically viable for generations to come. In July 2026, we visited one of these &ldquo;sheep islands&rdquo; to document their annual shearing day. The resulting short film is called Isle of Wool, releasing November 19th, 2026. Proceeds from the sale of this throw will be shared between the Canadian Wool Council&#39;s Shearing Training Program, which supports the development of skilled shearers and the future of Canada&#39;s wool sector, and the Barrington Woollen Mill Museum in Barrington, Nova Scotia, which preserves the region&#39;s rich history, local memory and traditions surrounding wool. By supporting Isle of Wool, you&#39;re helping preserve the knowledge and traditions of the past while investing in the skills and opportunities needed to carry Canada&#39;s wool industry forward.
