NorthfieldNick Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Sue sent me all the info, and I haven't forgotten about you! We entered the "seriously heavy duty rapid work" phase of ripping out old fences & putting up new ones, and I've been doing very little except stretch wire & put on t-post clips the past week or so. All fit in around 4.30 am bakery shifts... Butchering 40 lambs in the next two days, then I should have a little time to actually put yarn in the mail! Thanks!

dracina Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Ben, I had completely forgotten about the yarn. What a nice surprise to come home from work to find it in the mailbox! It is gorgeous!! This is the first "real" yarn that I have ever had, and I can't wait to knit something. A very kind gesture from you, and I am sure that the other lucky recipients are just as pleased. Thank you so much! Karrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alchemist Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Ben: I got mine today as well. It's lovely: I'm going to give some thought to a special project that will highlight its natural beauty. I will enjoy knitting it all the more because of its connection. Thank you so much! - Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthfieldNick Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Wow, that was fast! Cotswold wool is incredibly greasy (it's a very high luster wool), and a lot of the lanolin stays in the yarn. If you want, you can re-wash the yarn in lukewarm water with a few drops of mild dish soap. The yarn has all already been washed post-processing. I like the extra lanolin- makes the yarn pretty waterproof It makes great socks & mittens- wears like iron! Glad you all like it! My ewes say Thanks.
