In winter I always suffered from cold feet. So this time I decided to buy some winter socks. Up until now I only used normal socks and indoor shoes.

Damn why did it take me so long to buy some merino wool socks?

What a comfy and snuggly warm difference.

#merinowool #socks

Started watching "Keuringsdienst van Waarde", a Dutch show on NPO. I learnt that in Canada, for Merino wool, they:

a) Cut off the skin on the sheep's behind, to prevent them from being eaten alive by flies because their feces will get stuck in the wool.. It's called Mulesing.

And b) It's our own fault because we're breeding them with lots and lots of skin flaps (more wool per sheep!), causing these unsanitary conditions in the first place.

Money really corrupts.

#Sheep #MerinoWool

Merino sheep are among the most exploited breeds in the wool industry, suffering greatly from genetic issues and harmful practices. 🐑🧶 #merinowool #wool #sheepswood #merino #animalrights

Do Merino Sheeps Suffer More T...
Do Merino Sheeps Suffer More Than Other Domestic Sheeps?

All suffering matters. When questioning whether some individuals in a group suffer more than those in other groups, we must be mindful not to fall into the trap of speciesism…

This week of #TourDeFleece I've been spinning a rainbow braid of #MerinoWool on my #ElectricEelWheel6.
It’s so funny how every single time when I dye my Jutland Rhubarb, halfway the process I go ‘nah, this can’t be right!’ And each time everything comes together in the end. This colourway truly blooms when all the colours merge. Anyway, restocking soon! #yarn #knitting #crochet #sockknitting #handdyedwool #handdyedsockyarn #merinowool

Tässä oli niin monta ekaa kertaa, joista ehkä merkittävin se, että testasin ketjukertaamista ekaa kertaa. Ja hauskin se, että testasin Ashfordin Kiwi3 -rukkia, johon tykästyin kovasti.

Tämä on sitä samaa villaa, josta jaoin värjäyskuvan joskus aiemmin.

I have a new design on the needles for my youngest—who isn’t so young anymore. Time flies, and the kids grow up so fast!

It’s a long-sleeved sweater with an interesting detail on the collar, cuffs, and ribbing. I’m knitting it in #EasyCare merino wool by @Mayflower, in the color Powder 🩷 Perfect for the coming spring.

The knitting pattern will be available on www.woolwolfknits.com later this spring!
