I sheared, I spun, and I knitted my own purebred Icelandic sheep wool and blended with some alpaca and bamboo. This is a one time only special blend. The yarn has a very nice sheen and is very warm. Design from "Arctic Lace".
Icelandic sheep are dual coated animals. The long outer guard hair gives strength to the yarn, while the short down gives the softness and warmth to the yarn. Icelandic wool is great for spinning and felting. Using different spinning methods, yarns are perfect for either knitting or weaving.
