His is the Islandic sweater I made about 20 years ago. Islandic wool is very long haired and has a soft, warm undercoat. It is easy to spin , even for beginners, and the yarn takes dyes easily and knits up into very warm and rugged garments.

I wear it in the snow, without a jacket. The wool is almost waterproof..
For 20 years old, it looks to be in great shape! I like the colors and pattern. Nice!

Posted by Gwendolyn2018Latest castle quilt--a small one for a couch or a child. I have about four tops needing to be quilted, but I keep getting distracted by ideas for new tops.
Posted by NoSheepI finished the Jellybean quilt. Not completely happy with it, but my sewing machine decided that straight stitching is all it would do for such thick material on the binding .
