My own handspun 2ply pure wool.

I'm proud of what I made :)

Pink, 4 skeins @ 240 yds. each/960 total

Wool from a Frisian milk sheep and Gotland (green) dyed with onion skins.

100% wool. Dyed burgundy, green and blue and this is what came out.

Leftover Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Worsted in Blue Blood Red. Half a ball, enough for another Christmas Stocking.

A mantle or short cloak made of black wool broadcloth. The pattern is taken from Linda Baumgarten's Costume Close-up, pgs. 50-53, and dates to 1760-1775. The hood and neckband are lined with a soft thin cream silk.

Made with leftover needlepoint wool that came in 3-foot lengths. Worked two strands held together on #7 straight needles.

Cast on 61 stitches, finished size 7" square.

100% wool, should be quite insulating.

Dyed to match one of the cutest girlie prints I have ever seen! Small fabric cuts available!

204 yards, 2 ply, spun on my Kromski Sonata, superfine merino / tencel.

Athena named this "Twinkling Snowflake," but that made me gag a little inside.

With a wool felt heart applique on the butt. I figured since I stitched it up on Valentine's Day, I kind of had to do it.

Still in progress in this photo...basically a garter-stitch shawl with some simple lace at the edge, pattern called Larch.

Alternating bands of Mountain Colors Wool and MC Mohair, both in the Crazy Woman colorway (that spoke to me for some reason).

Okay. Have wanted to try these for a while and was really pleasantly surprised how easy to follow the pattern was! Have also reacquainted myself with just how much I dislike the kitchener stitch. I can do it but it usually takes forever to get the sequence right. For all its unusual construction it fits really well and even wierder is how the stripes even match up! Except for the toe of course. Love these and they didn't even take too long to make. Great pattern :)

Shetland wool is very fine and very crimped. It is a nightmare to spin, as I found on my first attempt. But it feels wonderful and, once you get the hang of it, it's rewarding.

The blue and green in the lower left are wool, the rest is lama. It came in little clumps, and I handcarded like colors together.
