Just the facts... and spinning some "yarns" too


Today we are sharing a couple of fun farm facts and a giveaway!
  • Indiana sheep produced 240,000 pounds of wool in 2009.
  • Llama wool is lanolin-free
  • If you leave a sheep in the rain, it won’t shrink.
  • There is 150 yards (450 feet) of wool yarn in a baseball.
  • Llamas communicate by humming and clucking.
  • A baby llama or alpaca is called a cria.



Calling all crafters! This week's giveaway is two 4 oz. skeins of wool from sheep right here in the Hoosier state. One is white and the other is natural gray.

Enter to win this week's giveaway by leaving a comment and telling us what beautiful creation you would make with this wool.

Entries will be accepted until 9 PM EDT on Thursday and the winner will be selected by random on Friday morning.
