Grey Wool Jumper

This wool comes from a sheep called Houdini. I spun the wool with a soft woolen feel and a little on the heavy side. Even though the 2ply was bulky the wool itself is light weight and has a soft next to the skin feel to it. This sweater was used as a learning project for the South County Yarn Balls Knitting Group. The sweater is made without a pattern. Instead you use a math problem to make a perfect sized sweater no matter if the subject is small or large. This sweater would fit a large kindergardener to a small 2nd grader and is currently for sale for $60.00

Grey Wool Cable Hat and Mitten set

This wool comes from one of my favorite sheep Houdini. He is a cross bred sheep of jacob, corriedale, coltswold. He was a ram but was always a sweet guy since he had been a bottle baby. All that love went right into these Mittnes that were styled after mittens my NaNa gave me as a child. I made the hat without a pattern and used the cabling to bring the set together. These were my Christmas gift to myself. All spinner should treat themself to something special each year.
