One of the oldest materials for clothes is wool. Very shortly after our ancestors, the cave men, learned that you can carry half a dead furry animal or tons of fur to keep warm, they invented spinning wool. And what a fantastic material sheep wool is! It has so many characteristics that synthetic fibres do not reach - amazing.
If you are like me and like wool, you most probably will want to work with it. The first thing that comes to ones mind is spinning wool. I found a nice informative page about that on a german blog: Schafwolle spinnen
Next thing is of course dyeing wool yourself. This is something many people don’t dare…although it is pretty easy and can be done in any household with plant and a few chemicals. Have a look over here (sorry, the video is only in german):Wolle färben
Last but not least you will want to knit with your wool, and let’s be honest, although it can be really fun to do all the things like spinning and dyeing yourself, most of the time you will just buy a good ball of wool in a shop.
So here is my recommendation for knitting wool: Wolle Regia
This wool has proved to go nicely when knitting and is easy to wash. Now get your knitting needles or your spinning wheel and have some fun with wool!
