And this arrived in today's mail:
It's fleece from Jan. She sheared her sheep (brother and sister Hampshire/Finn crosses) a few weeks ago and kindly shared a bit of fleece with me to spin when I work at the museum this month. Toodles' fleece is the cream-colored bit, and Ivy's is the black.
What fun! I've been on the lookout to meet people with their own sheep here, but no luck yet. :0)
ReplyDeleteHow nice! Even more special to spin wool from sheep you "know".
ReplyDeleteYour turn... Will you be spinning on vacation? What knitting and books do you have planned?
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you liked the wool, Laura. I hoe you enjoy carding it as much as I am enjoying combing it, it's just been so much fun.
