seeing all those sheep/goat vaschete asks inspired me to draw these (they got a bit more lazy as i went on but it's whatevs)
i like to imagine that machete could be a long haired goat breed which would give him his signature floof! couldn't choose which one to settle with tho ^^"
.
#aaaa these are so charming#I'm having trouble deciding which one I like the most#the goats have the floof and impressive horns#but the two sheep are also really appealing from character design standpoint#border leicester is one of my favorite breeds of sheep they have such excellent shapes#intense roman noses and big rabbit ears#and it's kind of comical how little Machete's face changes when you switch from dog to this specific sheep#and jacob sheep are simply iconic in their own right#these are lovely#thank you!#gift art#sloppygoaty#Machete#own characters#you have a lot more faith in his capability to grow a pair impressive horns than I do#I feel like his would either be kind of unremarkable#or he would have them removed entirely to look more sheeplike

Warming up & getting excited for Tour de Fleece next month ✨ with team Camp Wooligan
Another superbly skilled spinner kindly suggested I try out the Corriedale I have waiting in my fiber stash instead of diving back into commercially dyed merino and merino blends (I treasure the undyed fibers I have more and wanted to do them more justice), and I am SO glad I followed their wise advice as I practiced practicing on these little ~2oz samples. I immediately could see why they recommended the corrie and also why BFL is often recommended for beginners as well: I felt like I was doing something close to right.
I have one more sample to get to once I empty at least one of these bobbins, and then all that's left is trying to contain my excitement and hold back on spinning until Tour de Fleece officially starts!
And the final plied results from brushing off the heavy coat of rust off my spinning and doing some samples of the breeds I currently have.
Not anywhere near the weight I eventually want to be able to ply to, but a small step closer, and a small step closer toward consistent, as well. It was fascinating seeing how each wool gave me a different experience, and how much each of the plied yarns bloomed after a soak.
I really enjoyed my first foray into feeling and seeing the differences in working with different types of wool, and I've got a bunch more on the way to sample for Tour de Fleece next month.
🤎 Correidale, ~1.8oz, ~30y
🤍 Cheviot, ~2.1oz, ~32y
🩶 Bluefaced Leicester, ~2.1oz, ~31y
🧡 Shetland (broken top), ~2oz, ~43y
All fiber from Blue Moon Alpacas (shop | IG) and spun on my one and only Lendeum double treadle.
I also have been knitting a lot of cardigans and sweaters this past spring, and hopefully will muster the gumption to block them & weave in all their ends to take some photos to share.

The witch with iron claws. Supposedly, Black Annis had carved a tunnel from her home to the cellars beneath Leicester Castle where she is known as Cat Anna.

Days 10-12 of Tour de Fleece:
Day Ten (monday july 8)—
Finished bobbins one & two of the lovely oatmeal bfl! Very happy with the thinness of the singles I was able to achieve here. Still working toward consistency!
Background Entertainment: A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula le Guin (audiobook)
Day Eleven (tuesday july 9)—
Third bobbin done!
Background Entertainment: A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula le Guin (audiobook)
Day Twelve (wednesday july 10)—
Did some spinning outside! It was too hot to stay out for long, but I wanted to soak up some sun's warmth in my bones.
I also finished up the fourth bobbin and started chain plying them. Here I ran into a bit of frustration: while my singles are balanced enough to be used as singles… it is not quite enough twist for the tension of chain plying. After the first bobbin had four places that just pulled apart, the first time it happened with the second, I immediately stopped and started running the remaining 2 1/4 bobbins back through my wheel to add more twist to them.

Art I did for a commission that the patron ended up wanting something different but I’m pretty proud of how it turned out.
