Anatomy of a Cowl

Farm Grown - this cowl began its life on the backs of our beautiful Coopworth ewe, Havva, and our big guy Moe.   Havva and Moe were sheared and their wool was gently hand-washed. Havva's wool was then hand-dyed, but Moe's was left in its natural shades of brown. Their wool was then hand-picked, carded, hand-spun and plied. It is hand-knit on large needles to produce a lovely, light but very warm chunky cowl. 
From sheep to cowl... from our field to your home...

Poseidon's Millspun

Here's our big guy, Poseidon, waiting to be sheared last spring.  Look at those beautiful, long, curly locks of wool - seven inches long, folks!

Once we got it on the skirting table... all 12 lbs 3 ozs of it... we realized that we have always sold this beautiful wool as a raw fleece.  After skirting 10 lbs 11 ozs remained, and we decided to send it off to Stonehedge Fiber Mill to be processed. 

And here it is!  A beautiful silvery grey with wonderful depth of natural color.  We're still in the process of washing the 21 skeins, but we are so excited that we did get one listed in our Etsy shop.

We have one other skein ready to go.  And we've decided to give it to one of our lucky blog readers!  To enter the give-away simply comment on today's post.  Comments will be closed on Sunday at 8 p.m. and the winner chosen by Random Number Generator. Good Luck!  Comments are closed, the winner will be announced shortly.
