The full newsletter can be seen here. Next month's fibre just arrived by bus, and April is set up too! I can't believe I am ahead of myself...
I have been doing a lot of reading about sheep breeds in my Sheep a month personal challenge. January was Finn, as I have a fair amount of lovely Canadian Finn (that makes me giggle) roving from Barb of Wild Geese Fibres from a previous Fibre Box. It is lovely bouncey stuff! I also had to choose Finn first as a tribute to my heritage. My paternal grandather, and thus my surname, come from Finland. I'll post a write up and pictures soon. In sheep's clothing is a great reference book for anyone who wants to know about the characteristics of the various breeds out there. I hope to update the shop site slowly with more details about each of the fibres I have in stock. Thanks for the idea, knitgeekery!
Finally, a few dye jobs I particularly like, these are on my etsy shop:


Yay for Finn sheep! I'm looking forward to finding out what you've been learning.
ReplyDeleteAnd that first bit of dyeing looks like something you'd eat -- a bit of cotton candy, perhaps? Only better.
