As a proud member of the Fort Wayne Flax and Fleecers Spinning Guild, I've been privileged to explore various sheep breeds through spinning. Throughout 2013 and 2014, we dedicated each month to spinning a new breed of sheep’s wool, receiving approximately 1 ounce of specific fiber each month to spin in our own style. This garment is thoughtfully designed to showcase the unique characteristics of each breed's fiber we worked with in 2014. The final finishing step involves aggressive blocking, which helps to smooth out any inconsistencies from working with such diverse sheep breeds, ensuring a flawless finish.
Get inspired by exploring the rich variety of sheep breed samplers available at your local fiber mill or visit a fiber festival to experience new fibers firsthand. Try your hand at the Fiber Muse pattern, and you'll not only create a comfy, stylish garment but also have a beautiful showcase of your spinning expertise that you can proudly display.
