This is the first of a series of sheep breed fleece reviews. Today's episode is about the Cheviot sheep. I was able to spin sample from two different families of this sheep, the Classic Cheviot from the US farm Yucca Farm. I was not able to find a web link for them on Google.
The Brecknock Hill Cheviot sample came from Wychwood Spinner. It was part of a Welsh Experience sampler pack.
I previously reviewed this breed in Episode 8 of this podcast, if you would like to listen to that also.
Yes, indeed, cheviot spins absolutely wonderfully warm socks. I live close to Canada, and it gets a little nippy at times!
ReplyDeleteCheviot spins well, knits well, and wears great!
Thanks so much for your podcast-I just love listening to all you have to say! Thank you for all your work.
