Give me a home where the sheep do roam

In February 2021, the rescue of a runaway Merino sheep gained international fame when it was found in the outskirts of Victoria, Australia with 35 kilograms (77 lbs!) of wool on its back. This extraordinary occurrence was simply the result of a lack of contact.

If Merinos are not sheared by humans, their fleece will continue to grow indefinitely. Picture on the left by Wendy Darker and immediately above is one of the various breeds of Merino sheep in full wool.

Why the fuss about merino?

Silk is a beautiful thread and our art looks great with silk

Silk/merino wool blend stitched in Nobuko is also a beautiful thread.

You can always get all the Essentials you need separately at a discounted price and almost always have the choice between silk and silk/merino blend with our kits but there are fewer color choices than the silks so the design matters.

We’ve been busy this summer finding canvases that look great with the blend and priced really well for small quick kits and ornaments like I Heart You above and Sheep in Wreath from Winterthur as well as larger colorful canvases.
