A narrow 6 x 16 inch breathable wool chimney draught excluder and blocker. It fits by hand in seconds and is designed for slim fireplace openings.
About this chimney draught excluders
Not every fireplace has a wide throat. In many terraced houses, a small cast-iron grate or a slimmed-down gas-fire surround leaves a narrow opening at the top of the fire opening, and the pad that fits a big inglenook is no use. This 6 x 16 inch Chimney Sheep is a slim size designed for those narrow openings.
It is made of breathable wool felt, which means it blocks the draught without making the chimney airtight. That is important for an unused chimney, where a bit of air movement helps keep the stack dry. It fits by hand with no tools and lifts out in seconds.
Sizing is the whole game: a pad that is too small falls down, and one that is too big will not seat. Measure the opening front to back and side to side at the narrowest point, then choose the pad that is just larger. Remove it before you light any fire.

The complete guide
Victorian bedroom fireplaces and small grates often have openings far narrower than a living-room hearth.
Use a torch and a ruler. Measure the narrowest point inside the throat, not the visible opening.
If the opening is between two sizes, choose the slightly larger pad: wool compresses to fit, but it cannot expand to fill a gap.
Other options in this range, in case another size, colour or style suits your door better. See the whole chimney draught excluders range.
