£99.00Price

This one has sold however I am very happy to make to order in as similar as possible yarn colours or if you prefer just one single colour or an all over variagated colour! I can also do a button of your choice 🥰

This is definitely one of the most special things I make. A hand-knitted neckwarmer crafted from handspun yarn from my own bred gotland lambs. I bred the ewes, kept them healthy over the winter, ensured they lambed safely, and helped if necessary. Raised the lambs and hand sheared them at 6 months old to carefully utilise the softest fleece and to prevent the fleece becoming too thick and felting over winter. I then picked and carded the individual colours, spun them on my Ashford spinning wheel, plied the yarns together to create fades, blends and more solid tones. Washed the skeins then knitted this cable knit neckwarmer fastened with a handcarved lewisian Gneiss toggle.

Back breaking, labour intensive, a real labour of love and satisfaction in being able to make every single step of the process.

(The spinning pics aren't this yarn they're a different fleece, I just didn't photograph this one as I videoed it instead 😅)
