About Me
- Name: finnsheep
- Location: Lords Valley, Poconos, Pennsylvania
I live on a farm that has been in the Hatton family since 1859. My seven acres used to be home to Finnsheep, a rare breed from Finland. Only a few hundred are registered in the USA every year. Finnsheep are known for large litters of lambs and wool that has a very soft hand and high luster - - very popular with handspinners. I have been spinning the wool from my sheep since the mid-80's. I am no longer breeding Finnsheep, and gave the last of them away last summer. I am in the process of learning what a tremendous thrill it is to put a spinning wheel back in condition to do what it was made for! I probably have a couple of wheels and winders for sale at any given time. Don’t hesitate to ask about them. Also please visit my etsy store http://finnsheep.etsy.com

It is beautiful. I love how weaving reverses where as knitting and crochet usually don't. I was playing on google for things made with the bands from the tape loom and the inkle and there is some really cool stuff.
Nice pattern work!
Your method of finishing the ends looks terrific too!
I admire immensely, but have been intimidated by the band_snoddar group. Your beautiful execution of their pattern has emboldened me to join. How do you get around the language issue?
