Wool. The most wonderful fibre in the world. Also highly misused as a term to describe multiple fibre combinations that contain no sheep's wool at all. There's a campaign this month to inform people about wool and its properties - the amazing Kate Davies is starting it here, and the official website is here and under the button at right. On the heels of Shetland Wool Week, Jamieson and Smith is involved and offering prizes for the Wovember photo gallery - also check out their new book Knit Real Shetland here.Speaking of wool, Jared has a new fingering weight version of Shelter yarn which looks wonderful.
Winter's coming. Put on some real wool.

ReplyDeleteWool makes me so happy and I love this effort.
ReplyDeleteI just love Kate Davies, don't you? She's so incredibly passionate that she has made me see things differently. Even little things like lichen and moss. I'm so so glad I discovered her blog. What a treasure she is!
