It looks like a great day out :)<br /><br />Aaw, Tammy, not all wool comes from meat sheep, in fact the wool from meat sheep is generally coarser and not usually used for wool for felting, knitting, spinning etc. Those sheep do live good lives being kept just for shearing.<br /><br />But it is nice to know that meat sheep fleece isn't 'wasted'.Zedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09501183383883177154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2630083561828348619.post-2821585161076745132013-03-23T12:45:49.905+00:002013-03-23T12:45:49.905+00:00Seeing all the sheepskins reminds me of my trip to...Seeing all the sheepskins reminds me of my trip to England/Scotland at age 10. Mom brought back sheepskin rugs for our bedrooms. It was nice see the photos.<br />We still have winter here - with a tease of spring. But the ice on the lake has *almost* melted and the swans are back! ;)<br />Have a great weekend!Sugar Lump Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11378508367016717859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2630083561828348619.post-44981741210257386882013-03-20T19:34:47.832+00:002013-03-20T19:34:47.832+00:00I don't like to think of wool as a byproduct o...I don't like to think of wool as a byproduct of meat production. Why can't the little sheep just romp happily in the fields all their lives and give freely of their wool by shearing? :) I do find it completely amazing how that can be turned into such lovely yarn. I'm sure you are learning a lot.
