Valentines Day Sweaters
Posted on Friday, December 26th, 2008 at 6:01 am
As the hearts and flowers on Valentine's begin to show up and we realize that spring is still a month or two, a little romance in our lives are more than welcome. As knitters, we can rejoice in knowing that our favorite source of knitting material, wool, not only provides us with wonderful fiber spin, but with some imagination to do and not do in the romance department.
Remember the warning of a mother about wolves in sheep's clothing? While the boys were still being fun. These sheep are the proverbial Casanova "black" for their families? Well, if you know the truth, only because the fleece of these black sheep "can be dyed successfully contributed to their status as outcasts and had nothing to do with skills yard. We were told it would be best to flatter a firm "dyed-in-the-wool" looking character with long, a loving "sheep eye. And what you do, do not act as a group "sheep" - industrious without thinking in recent trends may wear a mini skirt too short it appears as "mutton dressed as lamb" and attract the wrong kind of attention.
Weavers have received business with the wool fiber during the centuries it has woven its way into and out of the history of world cultures. Stamps recorded in clothing indicate that Babylon the wool trade was at its peak in 4000 BC. Romans loved his flock and his "Golden Fleece" of washing, greasing, and combing their herds several times a year to ensure a bright wool. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain paid against tax income to finance Christopher Columbus sheep travel to the Americas. In 18th century England, the nobles were forced to kneel on a sack of wool, while proclaiming their allegiance to the crown as a reminder that the power of the nation depended on the success of the wool.
We not need a history lesson for us that we love this fiber as well. As the wool forms a protective layer against heat and cold for lambs and sheep, we enjoy the same benefits using a wool sweater. The surface structure of wool fiber allows air trapped in the surface and air is a poor conductor of heat, the heat is not allowed to escape. The wool is not only a good insulator, resistant Lightweight and comfortable. It is the ability to absorb moisture slowly, contributes to the comfort and does not cool the body, allowing moisture evaporates tissue. It can absorb up to thirty per cent of its weight in water without feeling wet to the touch. Wool also absorbs the dye to quit giving us the opportunity to knit with ranges son of color without limits.
Wool fiber can be perfect, but not are not always the perfect hosts. Wool sweaters when treated properly, stay in our closets for years are also many opportunities for the inevitable spills and snags. Woollens should be rewarded for their longevity, with particular attention to the washing, drying and storage. Wash with soap, wool and let it dry flat. Do not hang sweaters on hangers and empty pockets before placing in storage to prevent sticking out and sinks. Eating in an anti-moth or cedar blocks their wool clothes.
Lana will provide hours of fun to knit you keep warm and comfortable. New fibers, luxury intruders may come and go, but wool is true blue, tried and true. Wool Our love is here to stay.
