Corryvale Farm is in the west of England. Stephen and Jenny Blacklerkeep cows and chickens and sell milk and eggs. But most of their money comes from Jenny's sheep.
She has 50 sheep and each one has enough wool for six sweaters. Every six months, Stephen cuts this wool off the sheep so they won't get toowarm. Five years ago, Jenny made some sweaters with thewool and tried to sell them at country markets.But it was summer and the weather was hot, so people didn't want to buy sweaters. Shethen made some socks. Everybody lovedthem because they were cheap, strong and easy to wash. That's how Jenny's business started. At first, she made thesocks at home, but soon she had thousands of customers so she had to send the wool to a factory, where all the socks are now made onmachines. There are six colours, five sizes for all ages, and differentsocks for walkers, sportsmen and skiers. Jenny is busiest at Christmasbecause Corryvale socks are a favourite present. On the walls of Jenny's
office, there are lots of letters from happy customers all over the world.
Jenny only gets wool from her sheep once a year.
