Rawr. Have decided to do the sheep-lady for the full project.
I need to find suitable 'wool' now. eBaying time!
(And, damn it, why does it have to have a 30-60% chance of rain on a day when I need to go walking to the museum? I'm not even going to bother, now, just find the museum webpage and write about whatever they say they have in their walls D: )
$8 for five pounds -- black/brown 'jacob' wool. Seems to have a nice crimp. Doesn't quite look like it has the proper staple length for what I'd need it for, though.
$11 for one pound of white llama. It'd take way too long to get here, prolly.
Cria wool, 5 ounces. Probably not enough to do what I'd like to do. Also doesn't have a crimp to it. But it's a very good price.
Gotta love the one ouncers. They've got excellent texture, though -- not sure if I want to put out that kind of money for an ounce here and there, though.
2 pounds, dark grey leicester. Decent, even if short stapled.
Dark chocolate/brown, 15 ounces (nearly a pound). And currently around $15 -- not bad at all!
I've found quite a few bargins today :O Not listing them all, though.
