0:00:26 > 0:00:29- Lucy lives with her family - on a little farm...
0:00:29 > 0:00:33- ..above the Banw Valley - in Montgomeryshire.

0:00:47 > 0:00:53- They keep animals, including these - interesting and different sheep.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55- These are the Jacob sheep.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- Jacob sheep have spots.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02- They also have horns...
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- ..even the female sheep.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06- Their wool is very thick.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- I'm feeding hay to the sheep.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15- They like hay.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- They're all different ages.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- Some are going to have lambs soon.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- The ones with red tags - on their ears.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- My school is over there.
0:01:32 > 0:01:38- We climb this mountain often because - you can see for miles around.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- These are all female sheep.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- They are Banw sheep.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- The males are over there.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- Come and see the rams.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- The rams are in another field - at the other end of the farm.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- They share the field with moles.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- Moles live underground.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05- When they dig up, - they create molehills in the fields.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- They make quite a mess.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- They make quite a mess.- - Moles made this mess.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- They cover the field.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- Here are the rams - - the boys are coming to say hello!
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- This is our oldest ram.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- His name is Luma.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- We know they're rams - because their horns are different.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Hello.
0:02:38 > 0:02:44- We have seven cows - and lots of sheep.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- Lucy makes things out of the wool.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- Interesting things.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- You can make...
0:02:55 > 0:02:56- ..a snowman...
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- ..or you can make butterflies.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- All kinds of things.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06- This pretty butterfly was made - by a process called felting.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- When you felt wool, - it sticks together.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- It takes a long time.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- The needle is sharp. - You must take great care.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23- Felting is to pick the wool with - a needle until a shape is created.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Then you can make something - like this.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- This is a hedgehog. - It's eating an apple.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41- We make rugs from the sheep's skin. - It's difficult to make.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- The Llyn Peninsula.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- There's a shop on the coast - called Cwt Tatws.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Daloni Metcalfe runs the shop.
0:03:53 > 0:04:01- Lucy contacted Cwt Tatws to ask - if we would sell her sheepskin rugs.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07- Rugs made from the Jacob sheep wool - are very thick.
0:04:07 > 0:04:13- They're very soft - and they're black, brown and white.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- Each one is natural and different.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- That makes them even more special.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- You'll never have - two identical rugs.
0:04:22 > 0:04:28- Daloni sounds keen to see the rugs - but how does Lucy make them?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- She works closely with Nain.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Nain's scraping the skin.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- She's scraping all the fat away.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- All lot of salt - is also scraped away.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- The salt preserves the skin.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- This is hard work, Lucy.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Pull it tight, please.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- When the skin is clean - and the fat has been removed...
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- ..Lucy cleans it - with a special liquid.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- This process is called tanning.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12- I have to brush this liquid - over all the skin.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- This turns the skin into leather.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- If I didn't do this, - the leather would smell!
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- Good job, Lucy.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Next, some fun with a hosepipe.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- Cleaning the skin.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- I've filled the bath - with cold water.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- I'm going to wash the skin. - It doesn't need to be full.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- This is a bath for the skin, - not for me.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- The water's cold. - Mam and Nain are doing this.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02- They're washing the skin.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- There's some poo on it.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- # Visit Llyn y Felin
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- # And you'll meet Wil Cwac Cwac... #

0:06:25 > 0:06:27- Everyone's busy in the Banw Valley.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- I'm going to recite, sing...
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- ..sing in the choir and I'm - also going to do the folk dancing.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Folk dancing is nice, nice dancing.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- When I'm folk dancing, - Edward and I aren't friends.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- We're brother and sister!
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- We speak Welsh in school.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- I speak Welsh to my friends.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05- I speak English to Mam and Dad - - they can't speak Welsh.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11- I speak Welsh to Edward - but we speak English at home.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16- If I don't want Mam and Dad to know, - I speak Welsh to Edward!
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Nain speaks a little Welsh.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- She went to a Welsh boarding school.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- "Tiger In The Kitchen.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- "She's a tiger in the kitchen, - she's a lion in the bedroom.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- "In the garden she's agile, - indoors she's fat!"
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- I'm reciting Tiger In The Kitchen.
0:07:36 > 0:07:41- It's about a tiger in the kitchen.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- When it's indoors, it's fat.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- "Yes, Modlen the cat - is a tiger in the kitchen."
0:07:55 > 0:08:01- Eisteddfod or not, Lucy carries on - working on the Jacob sheep rugs...
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- ..before taking them to be sold.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05- This is the comb.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- This is what I do with it.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- It fluffs up the wool.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13- This is harder wool.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- You can now see the pattern - on the rug.
0:08:17 > 0:08:23- We sell them to people we know - and people who want them.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- We haven't sold many yet.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- The next time you see these, - they'll be for sale.
0:08:31 > 0:08:37- Lucy and her family rear Jacob sheep - on their farm in Mid Wales.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- They do many things with the wool.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46- The skin is treated by Lucy and Nain - and then they are sold.
0:08:47 > 0:08:53- On her big day, Lucy will take rugs - to a shop on the Llyn Peninsula.
0:09:01 > 0:09:08- Today, I've brought the rugs - to show Daloni, Daloni has a shop.

0:09:22 > 0:09:23- We have phoned her.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- She says she's happy - to look at the rugs.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- This makes me feel happy.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- Daloni's shop is very nice.

0:11:16 > 0:11:20- Can you tell me more - about these rugs, Lucy?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- We bath the wool first.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Yes?

0:11:29 > 0:11:36- Then we scrape - all the hard skin away.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- Did you paint the skin?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- Did you paint the skin?- - We painted a blue tan on them.
