Oh...I’m jealous. I’ve long wanted to spin and dye our wool, but with life going, going, going...I decided it’s just not going to happen until life slows down a bit. We, too, much prefer linen and wool over synthetics. The Bible even tells us that linen and wool should be our clothing..but not mixed together. A side note: did you know that linen and wool, when mixed together actuallly counteract each other and it destroys their protective qualities for our bodies?
That is very interesting! No I had not heard of that before. What kind of sheep do you have? Have you ever considered having the wool milled into roving? Such a good investment sometimes, imo.
Sorry for the delay...been really busy lately. After several years of telling myself I would spin the wool that season and failing to actually DO it...we switched to hair sheep. Less maintenance.
