The long evenings are great for doing bigger projects like spinning or knitting jumpers. Perhaps listen to your favourite podcast or audiobook.
I have been spinning since I was a child. Our mother set up each of us (6 children ) with a spinning wheel! We also had our own sheep so we wore their coats!
My Mum knitted this using alpaca wool This sheep’s wool jumper I made is warm even under snow!
I have spun and knitted my parent’s sheep’s wool all through my childhood and for my own children making them each a sheep’s wool and alpaca jumper in different shades. If you would like a bigger quantity of hand spun wool please contact me below.
