Gotland wool
Pillow covers to combine with the small tapestry finished last month are progressing. Some of the yarn includes Gotland wool. The lustrous, fine fiber spins up beautifully and the knitted product is soft and drapey, yet very strong.
Tapestry (upper right) that started this series of experiments determined color choices for knitting
Yarns are hand dyed and then spun (Gotland wool predominates)
