Beats most things for warmth and doesn't need lots of chemicals to make it look and feel wonderful. Let's hope it makes a comeback. It lasts a long time and can be easily recycled, so we won't need to throw out our wardrobe every season because its all worn out. And just imagine the benefits to us of clothes and home textiles made from wool from 'happy' sheep ? Great for the eco system, too. Did you know you can get paper made from sheep poo? Awesome !

I stopped knitting about 5 years ago, but am beginning to feel tempted to pick up the needles again. This is thanks to inspiring producers like Thirteen Mile!
