It has returned!
You remember that ridiculously large package of wool I sent away recently?
It has returned from its adventures... looking still very large, and slightly (ahem, well, maybe more than slightly) battered.

Of course I had to take a little bit of the fibre right away, and a spindle, and give it a little twirl - and just like I expected, it spins absolutely wonderfully.
So now I finally have Rhoen sheep wool and Valais Blacknose wool, already prepped ready to spin, in the shop! I'm ridiculously happy about this - and I hope other people will be just as much in love with these two rare sheep fibres as I am!
