Remember this wee black lamb?
…. who was intrepid and greedy, from Day 1?
He even went on a dog walk with me, leaving his mother behind…. shouting!
Well, he was sheared for the first time this year and his fleece was gorgeous. I have kept all their fleeces except ‘Ster’s.
After choosing a nice bit (hopefully around the neck, I think), washing and drying it (it took ages hung up over the Rayburn like dreadlocks), I carded a good pile today and made 5 lovely batts. The colour is beautiful.
And then, this afternoon, I made this little chap! A mini Harrel-the-Barrel!
Awwww…… *** sniff ***!
His wool was lovely to work with and most pure black.
