3232 Knitting With Breed Specific Yarns

Most commercial yarns are a blend of wools from many different breeds of sheep. However it is possible to find yarns that come from one breed. In this class, each student will be able to knit a swatch from many breeds that come from all over the world. The lively discussions that follow are always fun and informative, and your favorite swatch will most likely influence your choice of yarn for a future project! Materials: an assortment of needles.
