Beautiful! It is a rush to make something that is entirely from your own sheep.
Thanks Sharrie! I have made knitted things entirely from my sheep but this is my first woven project from them.
Excellent job Donna! A work !of art, and all the more special because it is from you own flock!

Thanks Jackie! It is something I have wanted to do for a long, long time.
