Raggedy RO comes in many hues! These two skeins are on their way to Susan Weese in Colorado. She knitted the baby hat earlier on in the Blog. They were barely off of the knitty knotty and Susan whisked them away!

The gray is the ply yarn. One ply is Raggedy RO colors and the gray ply is wool fiber from Germany. I can just see the little German sheep springing on the dikes in the Northern part of the country. In the 70's and early 80's I lived in Schleswig, Germany with my husband Juergen. As you see we are here in Prescott, Arizona now soaking up the sun. Each spring we would take a 30 drive to the sea city of Husum and visit “Nord Strand” which was the Island north right outside of Husum. There we would walk on the top of the green grass dikes. The sheep would be grazing along the path and the lambs would be jumping over and around the hay bails.

I love to spin with this natural colored gray German fiber. I sometimes dye this fiber with Gaywool dyes and these skeins I left the beautiful natural gray.
