Wear your sheep!

Wearing a fleece vest made from raw fleece is really a treat.  They are warm, fuzzy and all around comfortable.  This past winter I made a few raw fleece vest from different sheep breeds.  I want to share those photos with you.

 The linings used are made from hand dyed silk. The trim is leather.  However you don't have to line them.  The compliments are many when I wear these.

I like to use Border Leicester and Lincoln lamb for these vest, however other fleece types with curls can be used.  With sheep festivals coming this spring, it might be a good time to pick up a fleece and make a great vest! Wear your sheep!
