Marty asked herself,"How much can I spin/knit/crochet from one pound of wool?" She was curious to know. So she started hand dyeing, spinning and knitting from one pound of Chinny's fleece. ( Chinny is one of our sheep, she has a large chin.) |
| We decided to break down Chinny's fleece into one pound bags. Each bag of raw fleece is $5.00 plus postage. We would very much enjoy hearing or seeing what you, our customers, might create! We will post any photos you send us on our website. | 
Chinny's hand dyed fleece. Here Marty used cochneal, tumeric, cool-aid (!) and a tiny amount of aniline dyes to color Chinny's wool. See what you have available to dye up Chinney's fleece. |

| Drop Spindle and Grease Wool |
 |
Russian Drop Spindle | |
| Hand made drop spindle. The true spirit of the Russian village life is captured in the "veretinoa", the wooden drop spindle used by most Russian grandmothers to keep their children and grandchildren outfitted in warm woolen mittens, socks and caps. Luba's brother Ivan learned how to make these age-old spindles from his father Vacili. We are pleased to offer these handmade spindles which will allow you the flexibility of spinning and plying yarn whenever and wherever you like. Each spindle comes with a photo of Luba's mother Tatiana, spinning. | ||
