Ruth Sanderson finds out about an unlikely partnership between a surfwear designer and a shepherdess and it's all based on a love for Merino wool.

Today most Merino wool used for outdoor clothing comes from Australia or New Zealand. British surfwear company Finisterre decided try and create a sustainable British supply chain instead. Their search led them to a shepherd called Lesley Prior who has dedicated her life to establishing one of Britain's only superfine Merino sheep flocks.

The combined passion for producing and crafting Merino wool has created a long lasting partnership between Lesley and surfwear designer Debbie Luffman.
