Working with Wool

A very friendly English Leicester rare breed sheep.  This sheep has a gentle nature and comes t5o see me when I go to her paddock.

 

Lots of green grass at the back of the house.

 

Some of the yarn I have spun for the Australian Ballet.  The yarn will be used for costumes for Sleeping Beauty.  Can't wait to see what the designer does with the yarn. The yarn on the left is a natural grey, no dye.  The yarn on the right I have dyed but using earthy tones.

Colourful Locks

 

Some of my English Leicester fleeces from the lambs. 

 

The fleece is soft and lustrous and silky

I have one more fleece to hand dye.

 



 

So more colours will be available at Fibre Arts Australia Ballarat Winter School next week.
