Icelandic Wool and Mohair Hat

i have a new item up on etsy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! keep posted for lots more additions. i've been spinning myself dizzy!



"A cozy and fun winter beret made of all natural (no dyes or chemicals) hand-carded, hand-spun mohair and icelandic wool yarn. All fiber comes from free range goats and sheep raised with love and care. The mohair in this unique piece comes from none other than our handsome buck, Herschel. And the icelandic wool was donated by a friend's organic farm (as our icelandic sheep are still too young to shear)."

october means...

1. i've been a farmer for 2 years now.
2. it's getting chilly.
3. we got sheep to shear.

yes, we have kindly adopted 3 icelandic beauties from a friend's farm on nebraska/iowa border. being icelandic, they have been given appropriate names: nanna (goddess of the moon), hulda (fairy maiden), and einar (lone warrior). you can learn more about them on jason's blog. i'll just add, that they have lovely wool. i've already started spinning some from one of their aunties (graciously donated by their former owner, sherri).
