I will be interested to see how you get on
@Celia it's funny because I knit loads, I've always been fascinated by weaving and would love to do it but have absolutely no inclination whatsoever to spin.
I have just one hand knitted garment (a waistcoat) that i made from our own wool. We had a sheep that I think was a Shetland cross and her fleece was lovely and fine. A work colleague's mother spun it for me. The wool from mountain sheep, which ours are, is much too coarse for anything but carpets.
