Our first wool!

We took delivery of our first wool last week. The beautiful fleeces from the end of last summer came back after being cleaned, carded an then spun into balls. The wool is two weights - DK3 and DK4, the one (DK4) slightly thicker than the other. We didn't get it dyed, so it is 100% the beautiful silvery steel grey of the gotlands. Balls of wool are available in our shop for those who want to try it themselves. Many thanks to the Natural Fibre Company and Blacker Yarns for such a beautiful job. These websites are well worth a visit as their blogs and pages are full of wonderful information about wool, yarns and raising sheep.
