#wovemberpromptchallenge Day 10: not just clothing 🐑 👟 Here are my @allbirds wool running shoes. Yes, they are really made of wool. Wool is such an amazing and versatile material and performs so well as a shoe. Highly recommend 👍 (I am gonna say shoes are not just clothing) #wovember2018 #wool❤️ #weareallbirds #allwoolallthetime #stillhaterunning #nosocksneeded #wovember (at Banner Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqDYM-YFPSQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ic576p4z1e3g

#wovemberpromptchallenge Day 9: Breed 🐑🐏🖤 I am going to answer this with my favorite breed of sheep: The Valais Blacknose Sheep. My preference is based solely on their fantastically adorable appearance and I am very much looking forward to the day I meet one. The Valais Blacknose is a breed of domestic sheep originating in the Valais region of Switzerland. Swiss cheese, swiss chocolate, swiss sheep - all excellent choices. #wovember2018 #sheepbreed #sheep #wool❤️ #valaisblacknosesheep https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp_VVdSlTFY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6kuwe9vvuw1l

#wovemberpromptchallenge Day 8: Wool in the Wild 🧶🏔 I am taking a little liberty with this one, but this picture was the first thing that came to mind for wool in the wild. I spent my 30th birthday last year knitting with some @knittedwit bday gift yarn while playing cribbage next to #LakeTahoe It was the perfect combination of yarn and the great outdoors! #wovember2018 #woolinthewild #placesyoucanknit #knittedwityarn #yarnlove #wool❤️ (at North Lake Tahoe) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp99XoYl60n/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wb0mlesdt0ir

#wovemberpromptchallenge Day 7: Fibre 🐏🐑 The science of fiber keeps my brain curious and the more I learn, the more I appreciate my yarn 🧶 1st photos: That time @yarnharlot taught me about combed and carded fiber, and of course many other things I am grateful to have learned from her ♥️ Shoutout to @strungalongllc for their super informative retreats! Last photo: illustration of the structure of different fibers up close 🔬 #wovember2018 #yarnlove #wool❤️ #fibernerd #fiberscience #yarnharlot #strungalongretreat (at Port Ludlow, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp7N4maF-OT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17azoweneciok

#wovemberpromptchallenge Day 6: working with wool 💙🐑 My favorite way to work with wool on election day is to knit with merino in all the colors of the blue wave 🌊 #wovember2018 #latergram #bluewave #workingwithwool #merinowool #indigoblue https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp5kSj1FpnB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qwct9ijrc59f

#wovemberpromptchallenge Day 5: Warmth 🐾🧶 If a picture of a pup peacefully sleeping wrapped up in my plaid wool blanket doesn’t capture “warmth” then I don’t know what does 😊 seriously, wool is so cozy. #wovember2018 #wool❤️ #cozydogs #favoriteblanket #staffiesofinstagram #knitstagram #themostwoolderfultimeoftheyear (at Banner Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp0FN4zlWyg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xcdh0q7nk9zf

#wovemberpromptchallenge Day 3: Travels 🐑🧶 That time in 2015 I traveled to Hobbiton to find my dream home built into the side of a hill overlooking a pasture of sheep complete with yarn, knitting needles, and wips in the window. It was a woolly dream! *zoom in* #wovember2018 #woolderfultimeoftheyear #wool❤️ #newzealand #hobbiton #hobbitswhoknit #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram (at Hobbiton) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpugEKOF3N1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1onqoeq107psl

#wovemberpromptchallenge Day 2: wool count 🐑🧶 Wool count for yarn and today’s cold office attire. I present you with a woolly #fbf to the first time I ordered from @bendigowoollenmills ♥️ This was the day I truly fell in love with merino wool and I haven’t looked back since. My couch has looked like this many times over the years as I have added more Bendigo yarn to my stash. Thank you to my Aussie Grandma Mavis for introducing me to the wonders of aussie wool! 🐏 And thank you to my woolly garments for keeping me warm in the Truckee office today ❄️ #wovember2018 #wovember #bendigoyarn #australianmerino #yarnlove #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #wearalltheknits (at Fremantle, Western Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpsIeNplwIA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14lcdq0uwl85j
