It's the wonder, the wonder of wool

I was soaking my Old Bones shawl - pattern by the very talented Ashley Knowlton - at the weekend and musing on what amazing stuff wool is. It's made from Gotland Aran yarn by Well Manor Farm, raised & spun & dyed in Britain, and as I took it out of its Euclan, I was struck by how quickly the thoroughly-marinaded shawl shed its moisture, showing off waterproof/quick-drying properties that creators of synthetic material would kill for. Well done the sheep!!

 

And isn't the colour pretty?

All power to the good people at theCampaign for Wool!!!
