And saw a bit of this...



And when I came home, I did this...

There's a Jacob sheep farm in the north-east portion of Iowa...

I wonder if you washed a sheep in hot water, would it felt?

We should definitely conduct some experiments in this area. *nods* :D

I wonder what sort of patterns you'd get in a ball of yarn if you spun the Jacob sheep's wool without dyeing it. That would be fun to knit up!

[starfallz.livejournal.com]

They had a table to promote the Jacob sheep breed and the gentleman there had some cones of yarn from Jacobs there. He was saying they split out the black and the white usually and then the border sections where it is a mix get carded together and produce a grey. It was neat.

i saw wool carding on teevee or something when i was little, and have dreamed of it ever since. the end.

Should I bring my cards next time I'm in town? :D

Jacob sheep are awesome...if I ever had my own flock, it would be of Jacobs and Navajo Churros. :)

Oh, I hadn't seen the churros before. Those look awesome!

I like the karakuls also. :) They have such goat-like faces.
