I received my first breed specific yarn of the month from Longway Homestead. It’s soft, but not soft enough for neck wear. I’m thinking mittens or hat. I’m going to wait until I take the Breed Specific Knitting workshop before I decide, though. I think it will have nice drape. Can you smell the lanolin? Mmm… schmeepy. I’ve always wanted to try Finnsheep wool.
Speaking of grown in Canada, after yesterday, Bob was ready to make a run for the border.

There’s a lady who uses Finn sheep fibre for making her felted handbags with. Wears well so should be great for gloves that take a bit more action.

It looks really cushy. I’ve not met Finn sheep, or their wool. Let us know how it all works!

It’s like I can almost FEEL that yarn! I bet it would make fantastic mittens. And yes, Canada sounds pretty appealing right now!

Yeah, I’m guessing the Canadian border. I wouldn’t rule that choice out, sounds good to me.

IT looks very warm! I watched a you tube with Gale Zucker, author of Shear Spirit. I bet you know the book. IF you don’t , she highlighted wool farms in the US. IT looked wonderful
