fibre haul from the sheep and wool festival
yes, apparently I have a colour scheme.
acquired three lovely art batts (the teal is bfl, the others aren't specified but are so soft):
I also got some fun colourways in several different fibres (bfl, rambouillet, gotland, finnish, and a merino/yak/alpaca/silk blend)
and then we have the camel and polwarth which were just too soft to pass up (also ft. a new drop spindle):
(I also got a nalbinding needle but forgot to pull it out for photos)

Sheepishly British: The Proud Tradition of Sheep Farming in England 🐑🇬🇧
In the rolling hills and picturesque countryside of England, a tradition as old as time itself is woven into the fabric of British culture: sheep farming. Known for our love of tea, iconic landmarks, and of course, the Queen, England's sheep farming heritage is another source of national pride.
For centuries, sheep farming has been an integral part of English life. Farmers across the country have dedicated their lives to raising these fluffy creatures, carefully tending to their needs and ensuring their wool is of the highest quality. The sight of countless flocks of sheep dotting the green landscapes is a quintessential image of rural England.
Why is sheep farming considered such a proud and symbolically British occupation? Not only does it reflect our deep connection to the land, but it also represents our enduring resilience and commitment to tradition. Sheep farming has survived the test of time and has been passed down from generation to generation, preserving our heritage and shaping our identity.
The wool produced by English sheep is highly sought after, known for its superior quality and softness. It has been used for centuries to create warm, cozy sweaters, blankets, and other items that have become iconic symbols of British craftsmanship.
