This page is dedicated to the
Creations Others have Handmade
using wool from My Little Sheep.
Evelyn started with natural white
handspun yarn. She thought it would be interesting to continue
using "primitive" methods as she developed her piece. She dyed
part of the yarn using black walnut hulls over a camp stove outside, and
then used a vinegar wash to set it. The first picture shows the dyed
yarn contrasted with the natural white as they hung drying.
Evelyn played around with several ideas for the yarn before deciding on
this amazing piece of her own design. How is this for versatility
and class?

Then she entered her scarf and took first place in the American
Heritage-Fiber Arts contest sponsored by the Missouri State Society
Daughters of the American Revolution (MSSDAR). Congratulations,
Evelyn!!!!!
Mary Anne has several hand-crank
sock machines that she enjoys tinkering with. Recently, she
decided to take on the challenge of using my handspun, natural colored,
double-ply Babydoll yarn with one of her machines. Although I'm
sure she had many obstacles to overcome, just take a look at her
results!

...and they are as soft and cushy as they appear. Beautiful work,
Mary Anne!
