Beauty thy name is wool

I washed up my recent holiday gifts and the softness of freshly washed wool is amazing!

My handspun, turned mittens for my youngest is the softest in a lightly spun 2-ply merino. Only the softest for my little guy.


My mothers socks came out buttery soft.


The fingerless gloves I made for a good friend was the biggest surprise and softened up quite a bit. The yarn was fairly rough, but will be warm and comfy now.
