Doesn't this look just like something you would buy from a trendy shop for a vast amount of money? And rightly so. But my gorgeous daughter made it for me. On her arms!
It started life as a 1Kg ball of roving - which is the fat carded wool that you use to spin with. She felted it lightly in the bath, here it is drying outside. Then she split it into 2 to make the yarn a bit thinner. And used her arms as knitting needles. Casting on was tricky, but the knitting was easy. This is natural cream coloured Polworth sheep's wool. Isn't it just the cat's whiskers?
