Welcome to Day 5 of the Herdwick Sheep Challenge... a fun, 5-day, needle felting challenge with step-by-step tutorials to create your own beautiful Herdwick sheep.

Day 5 focuses on finishing the sheep by adding the coat. Option 1 is to create a 'shorn' looking coat. All instructions are step-by-step!

If you would like to create the 'full fleece' looking sheep, the video for this can be found here: youtu.be/W89Cl2AFn9I

Diagrams needed for the challenge (these will remain after the challenge, so that these videos can be used as a 'normal' tutorial) can be downloaded here: https://rb.gy/1ilyg7
