When the farm's Facebook page reaches 1,000 fans, I'm also going to give away this handspun, hand knitted scarf.
The scarf is made of pure, undyed Icelandic sheep's wool from this beautiful ewe named Urbana:
The scarf is about 5" wide and 5' long, not counting the fringe. It is 100% factory-free. Every step of its creation, from the birth of the sheep to the shearing, washing, carding, and spinning of the wool into yarn, to the knitting of the finished scarf was all done by hand, by me, right here on the farm.
But remember, the giveaway happens once our farm's Facebook page reaches 1,000 fans (as of this writing we have just 74 more to go to get there). Help us reach our goal by forwarding this page to your friends and family, Tweeting about this giveaway, posting a link to this page on your own blog or Facebook wall, etc., and then the giveaway will happen sooner.
If you're the "crafty" sort and would love to make your own scarf (or sweater, or...) make sure to check out our Free Icelandic Fleece Giveaway too.

ReplyDeleteI checked the Facebook link, and it seems to be working for me. There's also a link to the Facebook page in the right hand column of this blog.
What beautiful work! I wish you success with your farm. :)
ReplyDeleteI just keep looking and thinking how warm that scarf would keep me this winter here in MN!!! Beautiful! I am a new knitter and spinner and love seeing others handwork.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a beautiful scarf!!! I wish I had your talent. I've posted about your scarf, as well as your project on KickStarter on my blog. I wish you all the best! I'm sure you'll get it.

ReplyDeleteOh, I would love to have this to give to my daughter for Christmas! It is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully knitted. It looks so warm and cozy on this chilly morning.
ReplyDeleteStunning! Not only your amazing work but all of your sheep. I appreciate all the work you do to sustain your farm. Only some of us can dream about it and some lucky ones get to live it! Thank you for sharing. Liz
ReplyDeleteVery pretty...
ReplyDeleteSo stylish! I will wear it in my Facebook profile photo if I win!
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Would match my handbag!
ReplyDeleteCarey: You're right, it WOULD match your handbag perfectly. It's made from the very same fleece that your bag was! Only this is knitted instead of woven.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter-in-law would love this scarf. She loves sheep and even has jammies with sheep all over them.
ReplyDeleteWow! I'd sure love to have this scarf for the upcoming winter!!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy reading your blogs and appreciate the time you took to answer my "silly" questions :)
ReplyDeleteI really love what you are doing with your farm. Hoping one day to get out of factory work and work on my own farm, learning all I can about raising sheep and utilizing them for spinning and weaving projects! This scarf is beautiful and it is awesome knowing all the work and all the steps it took to make the final product! I would love to win the scarf in time to keep me warm this winter!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scarf. Where do you find the time to do all this work? Hopefully all the hard work is paying off! I found you via a friend and you do amazing work. So do you have a machine or do you hand knit? I have a friend that has an alpaca farm and yarn shop. One of the greatest buys she ever made was the knitting machine. I know it isn't "handmade" but you can turn out some really neat items. I still do it the old fashioned way, one stitch at a time. I have told myself, I will not start another project until all the projects are off the sticks. I am not doing well with this one. I started a little hat last week. But you can never have enough in your stash. ~Sabine.
