very nice, fast fashion is becoming less and less popular, so I think wool will become more and more popular

A visit to the Faroese is on my bucket list. I am a knitter, and I have used Navia wool for one of my sweaters. It is very warm! 🐑🐑🐑🐑

Unique and isolated..the sheep being able to graze where they wish would make the quality of the wool hardy with the very soft underlay..I am knitting now with the cooler months setting in..living in Australia in Melbourne where winter can be chilly..thankyou for sharing..❤
