Socks Are Coming

Bags of BFL on their way to the mill for a sock order. I debated whether to put all the BFL into socks or sell individual fleeces or process into roving/batts. I think this time I really wanted to try the socks. So today we threw the wool in the truck and trekked up to Zeilinger Wool Mill to put in the sock order. It will take about six months and we'll have about 125 pair of socks in various sizes.

The more I hear about fiber related things, the more surprised I am. I had no idea that you could send off your wool and get the socks already made back;)Guess I really wasn't paying attention;)
I want to see pictures too:)
