Dyed in the Wool

While we load our crate with all the new yarns heading to our Columbus trade show (booth #1457), we can't help but pick a little through the wool Stevanie dyed for the Sheep-to-Sweater project.  We'll be blending these in a workshop at the new Gresham shop, Andersen Fiber Works, soon!  They open this weekend, come see us there Saturday.

Sheep to Sweater Project

We've started on an adventure!  A group of us have purchased fleeces of Columbia wool from Imperial Stock Ranch to take through the entire process of picking, washing, dyeing, prepping, spinning and knitting on to a sweater or shawl.  This photo was taken at the very beginning of the project.  Most have now washed and dyed their fleeces, but not all.  We are not giving ourselves a time line.  We are, however, going to be supporting each other so that we can finish!  Here is a link to the Ravelry thread where you can follow this group of people.  And, we will be following one fleece through a series of video classes to help you should you want to do this on your own.  Next weekend the stage will be set...
