Description Started getting into fiber arts at the beginning of last year, and had a good practice run during the year. Focusing on trying different breeds this year.

This is from the sheep breed Jacob. I hand dyed using ProChem Washfast acid dyes, hand spun using the Electric Eel Wheel, and am knitting a swatch on Hiya Hiya needles.

22g combed top, dyed with Imperial Blue, Gunmetal Grey and Golden Yellow, spun short forward draw and chain-plyed into ~26.5 yards of 3-ply yarn. Knitting on US8/5mm needles.

Very nice, easy spin and lovely elasticity for knitting.
