Cassie keeps getting me started. First it's icelandic wool. Then icelandic shawls. Then pride in woolcentricity.
Well, I'm not much of a poet, but I used to be kind of handy with a camera. So my ode will be pictoral.
I. Border Leicester Lambswool
II. Carded Border Leicester Lambswool
III. Uncarded Shetland
IV. Icelandic Lambswool
V. Handspun Icelandic Lambswool
Any questions?
Yum. Looks pretty ode-y to me!

Oh. oh. oh. oh. Very effective.

Funny. My first thought (emotion?) was "Yum!" also. I wanted to....fondle the wool. Hold it. Spin it.

Cassie was right when she labeled that "woolporn". Am I all hot and bothered right now? Or is this my brain on drugs? I need to find a dealer for some uncarded shetland - I mean vendor...

Lovely focus, depth of field, and subjects.

That all makes me sort of breathless.

What a beatiful Ode to Wool - how I'd love to get my hands on some of that! Also - had never run across your blog before and now I've mamaged to read all your archives in the past two days. It was a great read!
