nundle angora

over the xmas holidays with the olds, we managed to convince 'em to take us to nundle to see the woollen mills. we only picked up some angora - it's not usually available by mailorder and seemed so cheap and soft. it also sheds really well - a black pair of pants soon went awfully fuzzy. update - the scarf is one that we've got in mind for a guy who was awfully kind to us a few years back - letting us stay at his (and his brother's) london pad. if you want to make something similar, we adjusted the chump change cable (thursday entry) to become "do the double chump" (sounds like some kind of funky dance move instead of a reversible knitting stitch) by doing the cable on the right side, then the wrong side of the fabric on the next row, making both sides look similar and reversible.
