My concern with this project is that they keep talking about how Shetland wool is so perfect for Fair Isle because it's "sticky" which helps with the patterning and you don't even need to weave the ends (?). Not sure if I'm going to run into trouble with the Jacob lamb fleece because it's not sticky? thecrazysheepladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10835269631172344336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457557437300345355.post-78566445552978142932013-05-03T06:33:26.304-05:002013-05-03T06:33:26.304-05:00Hey, don't be dissin the shetlands!

I'm not so hot on carders etc but doing this on less than a big fleece would be something I would enjoy. Something I could do a little at a time. I might never spin it though because I would enjoy handling it in the combed stage so much.

I'm still looking). Shearing after they've passed is hard to do, but makes the fleece all the more special. Had to do it twice in 10 days last month, but couldn't bear the thought of losing 2 gorgeous fleeces. What a special hat you will have!
