Not to worry....that little touch of imperfection is what endears me to things hand made. Check out my blog sewing table. The little doll that I just made from wool roving has arms that are much too long. I'm working out how to fix them. Or maybe not. I'll just have her hold something!
Ooo! How much do you sell processed wool for? I buy it by the pound from Weir Dolls, but it is frightfully expensive. I would love to support a fellow farmgirl!
This is my first year raising my sheep so I don't have any of my own wool yet to sell but I plan to in the future. Do you buy the natural color or the dyed colors? Rovings or batts? What do you make with it? Lotsa questions, I know. I would love to have available what you and other farm girls might want. Weir is expensive. You might want to buy directly from other producers. I had a thread going last month about this and there were a number of very knowledgeable spinners who had information on where and how they bought their wool directly from the producer.

Alee, Can I order one?? I thought I'd wait and get one for a shower gift, but since it just keeps snowing and snowing around here. Stella needs a warm heart doll with all this cold weather we keep having!! And the thought of keeping her warm with something handmade by you sure is comforting. I am headed to your website.
I just got my warm heart doll from Alee yesterday!!! She is for my little Grandaughter Arya for her 2nd bday April 28!!! Alee did an amazing job!!! The little doll is soooo precious! And she even embroidered Arya's name in a little heart on her chest!!! She did a beautiful job!!! I'm sooo proud of our little Alee!!! She has quite an adorable little business there and you should totally check it out!! Thanks sweetie!!! hugs!
