The Soay wool used in this scarf was sourced from an animal rescue centre:
https://www.farmanimalrescuesanctuary.co.uk/ The rare breed of Soay sheep are very small, (the little sheep in the picture is one of those whose fleece I used :) ) and so they don’t give a lot of wool in one fleece. I had two small fleeces of different colours and blended them before spinning the wool (on an antique spinning wheel I call ‘Jewel’). The wool contains small nobbles, known as ‘noils’, which give texture to the yarn, along with the varied colours, which all add to the character of the item.
I knitted the shawl in a variation of the ‘Vandyke’ Shetland Lace pattern. I call the shawl style ‘Heidi', after one of the Angora Goats I used to have years ago when I lived in Orkney. I like to name my designs after the various pets I've had - it's a lovely way to remember them.

Full description
This elegant shawl is hand-knitted in a ‘Vandyke’ lace pattern, with a ‘Vandyke’ border along the two lower edges.
I used handspun wool from the rare breed, Soay Sheep, which I sourced from the Farm Animal Rescue Sanctuary, Warwickshire.
The wool is a blend of two different coloured fleeces, giving the finished product a grey-marl appearance.
Measurements: Approx 78” (198cm) wide x 37” (94cm) at its deepest point, and weighs 430g. Please note that the size of knitted items will vary depending on conditions and handling. Hand-wash with care - washing instructions included with the item.
Please quote: Heidi - MPSH03-17
