Pride Of The Web –

One of the oldest materials for clothes is wool. A short time after our ancestors, the Neanderthals, learned that you can carry half a dead furry animal or piles of fur to keep warm, they invented spinning wool. And what a congenial material wool is! It has lots of characteristics that even high tec fibres do not reach – astonishing.

If you are a wool aficionado and like wool, you most probably will want to work with it. The first thing you could think about is spinning wool. I found a nice informative page about that on a german blog: Schafwolle spinnen

Next thing is of course dyeing wool yourself. This is something many people don’t dare…although it is pretty easy and can be done in any household with plant and a few chemicals. Have a look over here (sorry, the video is only in german):Wolle selbst färben

Last but not least you will want to knit with your wool, and let’s be honest, although it can be really fun to do all the things like spinning and dyeing yourself, most of the time you will just buy a good ball of wool in a shop.

Read here about knitting on this german blog: Hundertwasser Strickpackung

The wool shown on that page has proved to go nicely when knitting and is easy to wash. Now get your knitting needles or your spinning wheel and have some fun with wool!
