Future Socks

Remember the yarn I was working so hard to get last week from The Loopy Ewe? It’s all arrived now but here are the first three skeins of it.

It feels yummy.  100% wool! There’s lots of yardage . . can’t wait to start knitting on it.

These sheep are covered in wool! I’m betting they have no idea how much a pair of socks cost made out of that wool they’re growing.

Kinda hard to imagine that something so dirty and matted and tangled can later turn into this:

That’s pretty amazing .. from those dirty, stinky sheep to soft, warm wool!  I guess it’s about the same as going from a cotton boll to that yummy fabric in the quilt shop and then into a quilt that keeps us warm!  Interesting!
