Throwback Wednesday

Still haven't managed to do anything with the wool from last summer's shearing, and before you know it, it will be shearing time all over again, but here's a jumper/pullover/vest (not sure what to call it!) that Rachel knitted with wool from my Balwens!



Rachel says it's warm and she loves it -- but it is not a next to skin layer because ITCHY.  In this detail here you can actually see how itchy it is.  Balwen have quite a short staple length -- this means more ends and more itching.  Looking forward to spinning the Shetland wool as it should be much softer...
