Throw, by Anne Parker using 15 skeins of yarn of different natural colours.

Joanne O'Hara of the Yukon, Canada, sent in this clever felted pouch with felted rope pulls. Great project Jo, thanks for sending it in.

"Hi David,
This is the first article I have made with your wool. Primarily Delilah with a touch of Morris.
Approx size 6X13. The bottom is round and it was shaped over a large round stone.
It is my first project with your wool. Just thought you might like to see it. Cheers Jo "

"I am a lifetime knitter and have recently had the pleasure of working with your wonderful icelandic yarn.

My husband and I have a second home in Cable, WI on Picture Lake and while we're up there I almost never miss a chance to stop by Pine Needles. It was there that I saw your beautiful yarn. I especially enjoyed the picture of the sheep on the skeins.

Here are several pictures of a pillow I just completed using your yarn. Freyr contributed the most but the accent weaving used yarn from Frayja, Inga, and Ida.

Thanks, and I look forward to more projects using this soft and luxurious wool. I've been meaning to learn to spin so that's next!"

This Beautiful sweater was made by Margaret Brilla, our Vet, Monica Brilla's mother. Monica's husband Dick is the model. Monica wrote: "Reynolds Lopi Lite yarn compliments your lighter weight yarn perfectly".

Beautiful work Margaret! She used several of our natural colours in this sweater.

This "Birch" rug was made by Linda Johnson-Morke. Linda handspun the wool in the grease from a black badgerface ram, then crocheted and felted the rug. Beautiful and durable.
