Hand made fun with quality hand spinning wool from Rocky Sheep Company of Longmont, Colorado.

	Gabriela dyed Chessy's silver gray fleece in shades of blues and purples for the background of this sweater. Then she dyed Kittie's white fleece in shades of yellow and orange for the stars to create this brilliant sweater.
At right Gabriela wears her gorgeous sweater as she dyes more yarn for her next project.
	Carolyn made these mittens from Chessy's light gray fleece. The wool was dyed with raspberry and mulberry acid dyes. She used a slip stitch pattern that she learned from Roxana at Shuttles, Spindles & Skeins in Boulder, Colorado.
Carol knit this lovely sweater from the wool of three different sheep. The white is a ewe named Yolanda, the gray is a ram named Will and the black was spun from a ewe named Patsy.
	Marilyn, of Denver, created these wonderful socks. They were made of rainbow dyed fleece from an old girl named Kitty. It was then made into multicolored rolags and spun 2 ply.
Gabriela spent the day dyeing yarn to make sweaters for her boys. She used the same dyes on white and gray yarn to come up with a batch of bright colors and a batch of muted colors. Here they are drying in the sun at the end of the day. They are just lovely, don't you think?
This is Natali and Mardy. We bought our flock from them in 1990. The sweater that Natali has on is made from the wool of every sheep that they sold to us. She kept a quarter of a pound of each fleece that year, spun it into yarn and used it to knit this sweater. Each triangle of the pattern was knitted out of yarn from a different sheep. There are 18 different sheep represented here.
	This felted wool pillow is made from Valerie's slightly varigated fleece. Gabriela then embroidered the floral pattern.
Joyce of Longmont made this cozy hat and sweater from Ozzie and Ebony's wool. Since these fleeces are a bit varigated, she separated each one into it's different shades and then spun them.
