So recently me and Jordan went on holiday for a long weekend down to Devon and while we were there i dragged him to a wool show called Proper Woolly which i happened to see on instagram the night before.
It was such a good show to go and see as i got to see lots of different breeds of sheep and feel their different wool and all the different qualities that different breeds of sheep can give you for wool.
From seeing all these different sheep i got to watch some of them being sheered and i also got one of the fleeces that i saw getting sheered which was amazing as i feel now when i make that fleece into yarn, i feel i know exactly where it has come from.
Here is the sheep getting sheered
It was really nice to be able to watch the process of sheering and then being able to get the fleece to bring home and make into yarn.
As well as this the show was a great place to meet different people involved in lots of different crafts and also to get to see loads of different types of yarns and there different uses.
