I haz wool!

Courtesy of my Gran's sheep, this will be in my hands in a couple of months!
His wool is soooo soft & afro-y!
Kept in her huge garden & field, pretty much a house sheep! and he will come when called

 

Neat, do you or anyone in your family spin? I'd love to have a sheep one day, you're lucky!

 

Nope Which is why i'm pretty screwed!
Yeh he's pretty awesome eh?

 

fuck spinning, felt ftw!

 

I seen some felted beads on etsy, maybe you could figure out how to felt beads and put them on your dreads, and if you want to dye the wool, use some kool-aid or colored drink mix (w/o sugar).

 

i'd keep the sheep

 

just get the sheep to sleep in bed with ya..use him as a pillow


and let his wool dread
i really dont think they like being shaved bald much

 

yeah and if you can't sleep get him to jump over you and count him... there's a lot of things you can do with a sheep, get him!!

 

aww he is sooo cute! you could dye the wool and needle felt some cool colors in a few dreads.

 

There were actually two sheep at our fair this year who's wool had dreaded. The fur was especially long at the top, so it hung over their eyes and everything. And the fur was black, so I just called them the Bob Marley sheep. I wanted one.

 

no,they don'y like being bald but loveeeeeeeeee being used as a pillow,squashinh their guts.ha.cute sheep Alex.poor lil thing.

 

Hehe
His hair is so fro'-y it gets so big he can't walk properly so its trimmed!
I can't wait

 

awww so your doing a good thing^-^yeay.are you a vegetarian Alex?

 

Yep One that doesn't eat any meat inc. fish (Come across them alot)

 

How cool!
I just started spinning wool from a happy sheep living in Huddersfield
It takes a little practice but this was the 1st thing I actually made from scratch.


It was going to be a tam but I wanted to finish it quickly so I made a slouchy hat.
It involved washing and combing it but it was fun.
I'd love to get my hands on that wool of yours it looks so soft! If you want me to make you a little something feel free to send some and I will
I would'nt want any money it would just be good practice its just more of a hobby at the momment.

 

I want to spin happy sheep wool!!!!!!!!!!! *whines*

 

hahahahaha, love it =D

 

Beautiful Hat! Did you make your drop spindle? I got one at a fiber festival but have not got the hang of using it yet. I would love to get a spinning wheel!! *dreaming*

 

No I bought the drop spindle online I was a complete novice so did'nt really understand how it worked,NOW however I would make another,saw a video on making one involving wooden dowling and a wooden door knob.......pretty cool.
The best thing I found was practising alot, just on little bits.
My wool never comes out even its thick and thin but I prefere it like that
If you want any tips or anything Im not amazing but pm me and I may be able to help?
Spinning wheel.......................Dream!!!
My boyf wants to make one from recycled stuff its a good idea but we'll see !

 

I Like Sheep =]
