Another one for the wool-gatherers

    As a supplement to this post and this one, here's another source of wool for you, and 'source' is the right word because this 100% Poll Dorset DK comes from the Isle Yarns family flocks on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset.

    The picture here captures the colour pretty well for it is the most lovely moss green (though I have my eye on the lavender and grey too); the wool is destined to be a hat for Mr. C.

    Following on from yesterday's post, I drew 'painting' from the Advent hat today so I spent 20 minutes with my watercolours* - something I would not have done otherwise - and thoroughly enjoyed myself.

It is very enlightening to see more and more of these small producers using local breeds. My recent discovery is this http://www.southdownsyarn.co.uk/
Another small enterprise, run by people passionate to keep alive the British heritage of wool production.
