Lulu & Pengu "helping" me with my knitting!!
Over the Christmas holidays and New Year been knitting a warm jumper for Dante, one of the Syrians in Turkey as there is a cold spell to come.. Family Link Up I know he will need to keep warm as he is like a social worker for the community there and will be out and about checking on all those in need of help. The wool I am using that I got in Uxbridge Pavilions has Merino wool in from Turkey would you believe... What a link up that is..."Merino Wool is a natural material originating from the Merino Sheep. Merino has high levels of warmth, breathability and softness against the skin, particularly when compared with traditional wool products." This is so special when I google information on the qualities of Merino wool. Merino is finer than most sheeps wool, which gives it a very soft feel. I am feeling this as I knit it and it is so light too. I have learned most from this site which specialises in Mountain clothing.. wow could so with some of their wares for the Syrian community in Turkey. Mountain Ware - Merino Wool
I am enjoying knitting with it too so will look out for more of James Brett Wool
