un-spun love

I was reading through a book I got from the library last week called Icelandic Handknits, by Hélène Magnússon.

Icelandic Handknits: 25 Heirloom Techniques and Projects

And so far I like it, though now I want more on this the Icelandic Lace. I’ve been enjoying anything with the history of knitting / fiber arts in it. Somehow the idea of knitting something that was knit 100 years ago just appeals to me. But as I don’t have a pressing need for shoe liners for my fish skin shoes, not always very useful.

While reading through the book I read about unspun Lopi yarn, (just like the stuff I found in Grand Marais from Canada). So I looked it up and now I want it, I want it soooooooooooo bad.

What am I going to use it for you ask?

………

That’s a good question.

But I still want it .

Some Un-spun Icelandic wool

 

So very very much.
