It's that time of year again

Handspun 'harvest'
I really enjoy working with my handspun yarn. What you see above is 3.5 ounces of Falkland wool that I spun worsted then n-plied to preserve the colors changes and give it a more balanced feel. It should work well for pattern stitching as the 3 plies make it crisper and more detailed when knitted. At least that's the theory and I'm about it test it on these... shhh... they're not for me... Off to learn a cable cast on. Oh joy!

Probably a clueless question, but is this wool from the Falkland Islands? L
