A Pair of Jacob Hats Spinning Knitting Pattern Download

A fresh fleece, with lovely variations in shade and color, is much more inspiring than commercially processed Jacob wool, which is typically homogenized into an uninspiring medium shade of gray. Since Jacob fleeces are small, it’s not at all hard to prepare and spin a Jacob fleece, and the size guarantees that it’s not a lifetime project.
