The finished throw.
Detail of a wonderful, springy lock.
The throw in situ on the back of my rocking chair.
This project came together like a dream...
...once I had finished the hard part of laying out the fleece.
I love the delicious contrast of tame, white merino roving...
...and unruly Jacob Hoggett locks! :)
It's the perfect size to tuck in around your legs while you're reading in a cool room...
...and remembering its earthy inspiration never fails to make me laugh!

I't become a really po(o)etic throw ;D. I love the shape of the "worm" stuff. hugzz...Peebee
ooooh, that does look very cozy to warm up the legs while knitting away in the evening (I'll get that knitting bug in you)
It is amazing and I love the unique contrast of the Jacob too.
Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
turning a wattwurm into a bookwurm? it is só nice, i love it:)
Can't wait to see it in person tomorrow!!!
How amusing! I've spent the a.m. sorting out 9-10" Romney locks that I haven't decided how to use yet but they felt up like iron so perhaps you've been an interesting inspiration. Always love looking at your work.
Thanks, ladies!! I'm so happy that this strange project wasn't too weird for you! :)
Hi heather. I love the detail photo. I always want to get in there and see what is going on! your playing with the jacobs liveliness and the merino calm makes me want to drop my plans and do some felting!
That is so wonderful! I love the locks sticking up. Fantastic project!
there is a give away on my blog, if you want to enter, please leave a comment:)
Yes, the contrasts in color and texture are amazing.
I'm so happy that you all enjoy raw locks the way I do!
I just can't get enough of them!!:)
Oh that's very fun! I love Jacob sheep and their beautiful wool!
Thanks, Jenn! I love Jacob locks, too. I like that there's three different colors to play with in each fleece!

I just want to touch it! Even if it is called worm poo. lol So wonderfully textural.
Thanks, Lisa! It is delightful to touch.
A soft and cozy lap cover for in the car too, during cold Winter months.
Very nice indeed, and now, I can't help but think of worm poo myself, every time I see it. LOL
I love the contrast between roving and raw locks. Your throw is lovely.
Thanks, Angela! I'm glad the title hasn't 'put people off'!! :)
