At some point soon to dye a skein of camel!
Until next time!
Well, I sure learned a lot! This is SO informative. Over the years my mother made me several items in camel hair and I never knew any of this. I plan to have a fun discussion with her tonight. She is 86 years old and still knits. Her most recent item was a beautiful Christmas stocking for our newest member of the family, her great granddaughter. I know one thing she really misses is the old yarn shops. Good luck to you!
