02GF74 - 10/11/09 at 12:39 PM

Ok, we have all seen them, ickle black sheepies bouncing round the fields but does anyone know where one can buy a jumper (sweater if you like) made from them? i.e. made from natural undyed black wool?

google has not been of much use

ah, wolf in sheeps clothing eh?

hmm, i have no idea. i think wool is always bleached and dyed before anything is done to it

Years ago a friend had one made by his wife who spun and knitted the wool from their dark coloured Jacob ram. It looked good but when he walked through the field wearing it the sheep would follow him
