Patty Lyons
Knitting teacher, designer and author
I was lucky enough to present the North American premiere during my knitting retreat in New York. Not only did the 150 knitters in attendance love it, but one of my vendors (a sheep farmer) spoke afterwards about how true it was to her experiences.It was a wonderful way to spend an evening.

It started with the first photo filmmaker Paul Wyatt ever took: a blurred sheep's nose on a school trip when he was just nine. This lifelong love of animals and a deep-seated curiosity to understand their lives drove Wyatt to make Sheep, Actually.
Sheep, Actually is the culmination of over a decade of high-profile film collaborations that Paul Wyatt has filmed and produced.
Merch The Sheepzine contains over a decade’s worth of behind-the-lens field notes as Paul Wyatt rewinds the tape on his own journey with fleece across time and landscapes.
On the Big Screen From indie cinemas to museums and art centres, Sheep, Actually has been loved by audiences across the UK. ..
