urchin

dyed lincoln and mohair locks i got with meowgirl at the maryland wool and sheep festival this past may -- i couldn't resist these colors, they absolutely reminded me of my prom dress ;)

finished: september 2007
pattern: Urchin by Ysolda Teague
yarn: handspun mohair & wool

what to do with less than 150 yards of handspun? here’s one option. i loved the colors and texture – surprisingly, usually i don’t like mohair but these locks were just too cute and curly, you could almost see the goats all frisky and silly butting heads – and couldn’t resist knitting something up with the skeins immediately after spinning them up.
