Spinning and knitting with Gotland Pelt fleece …

The reason we decided to buy sheep was for me to be able to see and do the whole process from sheep to garment.

I have finally managed to do that process and am very pleased with the results; well satisfied that I know and understand the process, pleased… well that is an ongoing feeling but I am getting there. (Is anybody every truely pleased with finishing something? I know I want to improve my finished product, but still am proud to have achieved the process from beginning to end.

Let me explain:

I started knitting many years ago… as a kid actually… and, of course, bought my yarn. When we lived in Diamond Harbour – (Christchurch, NZ – in the harbour basin) we had sheep living next door and I took up spinning with a drop spindle.
