RE: Handwoven Clothing, Dyed With Herbs and Flowers, Made With Natural Yarns. Inspired By The Earth
Oh...I’m jealous. I’ve long wanted to spin and dye our wool, but with life going, going, going...I decided it’s just not going to happen until life slows down a bit. We, too, much prefer linen and wool over synthetics. The Bible even tells us that linen and wool should be our clothing..but not mixed together. A side note: did you know that linen and wool, when mixed together actuallly counteract each other and it destroys their protective qualities for our bodies?
That is very interesting! No I had not heard of that before. What kind of sheep do you have? Have you ever considered having the wool milled into roving? Such a good investment sometimes, imo.
Sorry for the delay...been really busy lately. After several years of telling myself I would spin the wool that season and failing to actually DO it...we switched to hair sheep. Less maintenance.
