and quite resonably priced too! Sadly I am allergic to wool :(
the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.

But not when it's attached to a sheep?  ???


Rosemary - I love it that you've taken the initiative to have your fleece commercially spun. I think you're right - it's a luxury market, and people want to buy the story of where the wool came from, as much as the garments themselves. I'm sure this will go from strength to strength, so well done for taking the risk and going for it :thumbsup:.

Actually I have a habit of coming out in rashes after handling sheep, but it seems worse somehow when wearing it on my skin ???

I can see why you love them, Rosemary. I suspect you would in any case but being made from superior wool makes them even more special.

Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age
