NOTES
REGARDING COLOR
If the wool is dyed, I use dyes boasting extremely high wash fastness and good to excellent light fastness.
Please
bear in mind the photo May
Be Slightly Different from the
actual item in terms of Color
due to the lighting during the photo shooting or the monitor's
display.
*Babydoll Southdown sheep are born either black or off-white.
Even
though they are born black and referred to as black sheep, the fleece
of many will fade to dark chocolate or lighter shades of brown and even
an oatmeal color. As they age, some of the black sheeps’
fleece
will fade to different shades of gray, some much faster than other.
NOTES
REGARDING PROCESSING
Unless
otherwise noted, once the sheep were sheared by a
professional,
all aspects of the processing of the fleece, from raw to finished
product was completed by me at the Bergamascos' Babydoll
Brigade farm in a smoke free environment.
NOTES
REGARDING WASHING
Babydoll
wool is a natural
version of "superwash" if you will. I have washed hand knitted
socks in my front
loading washing machine. After washing, I give them a
lengthwise
tug to shape them and then air dry. I
recommend hand washing, blocking, and air drying
for "fancy" items or items with fringe.
