I haven't shown what I'm spinning, so, here it is. This is Montedale, an American developed sheep breed, and it's lovely! This is the second bobbin of these colors, so I should have 8 Oz of a sport weight yarn when I'm done. #spinningwool #spinningfiber #benitamakes #wip #montedalesheep #montedale

My Montedale spin is getting closer to being done. I have 30 grams (1.1 oz) remaining before I can ply the two bobbins together. This is a perfect fiber to learn spinning with as it is so easy to spin. I think I'm going to weave overshot with it. #spinning #Montedale #spinningwool #ilovewool #wool

Earlier this month I got my July Barnbox from #barenakedwools - some beautiful Montedale Fingering. I picked out my free pattern (you get to pick one with each Barnbox) as the Subterraneans Cardigan. But when I get a chance to use this I will probably do the Petals shawl (last picture.)

The colors are beautiful!
I've never heard of Montedale sheep before. What are they like?
