I am on a quest to spin as many breeds of sheep as I can. After spinning each sample, I will knit it into small square that in some way represents that particular breed (with colourwork if I have more than one natural colour, or else with texture) and incorporate them into a vest, which will eventually turn into a jacket and then a coat.

If anyone has small samples of breeds I don’t have (I only need about 15g or 0.5 oz), please let me know. I have many breeds to trade. Breeds with a capital ‘T’ beside them are ones I have available for trade in quantities of at least 25g. Breeds with a small ‘t’ beside them are breeds I should have in smaller quantities for trade.
