Today marks the start of National Wool Week - a celebration of all things woolly. So, if you needed an excuse to add to your woolly stash, then this week you have the perfect one (not that I know many knitters who need an excuse). I've treated myself to some pure, undyed organic gorgeousness in named breed colours from Garthenor in Wales
Of course if you're not a knitter you could always celebrate by supporting the lovely creatures that produce our wonderful wool. Saving Rare Breeds are aiming to raise awareness of declining rare breeds and their wonderful work deserves lots of support. You can even sponsor your very own sheep, I've chosen Noah No-Ears to be my special friend for this year but they are all equally lovely.
