I am having my hair cut today for the first time in about 5 months! I thought that being a knitter and crocheter that I would say thank you to all those sheep that have their "hair" cut so that knitters around the world are able to create wonderful items.
Here is just one of my items that are made with 100% Merino Wool
This post originally contained pictures and links to other sellers on Folksy that used to sell yarns which were 100% wool and were from various breeds of sheep. All were hand-dyed by those that were selling them and were ready for spinning or felting but 14 years years on all the links are dead and many of the sellers have moved on or given up and so I've removed them.

I am in awe of anyone who can spin their own yarns, I would be terrified of messing it all up and getting in a big tangle. One day I will find the courage and the time to learn, but probably not whilst the kids are still young.
Thank you so much for including my Cinnamon Spice Shetland fibre in your beautiful selection Julia :)
ReplyDeleteYou really must learn to spin - do what I did and start with a drop spindle. Beware though it's highly addictive. I have acquired 2 wheels in the last 6 months!
