Be careful you don't buy any of the older wool injinis. The wool was very poor quality and fell apart quickly. (don't buy the ones on the sale page)Quote:

Amazon has a few possibilities:
The History Of Wool And Woolcombing (1889)
The Sheep and Its Skin: A Text-Book of the History, Breeds, Feeding, Diseases, and Afflictions of the Sheep; and of the Pelt and Wool Conservation, Fellmongering ... of the Pelt Prior to Tanning [ 1913 ]
A short history of wool and its manufacture (mainly in England)
An Illustrated World History of The Sheep and Wool Industry (Hardcover)
When I couldn't find my book I searched Amazon, too, and this is the one that sounded right. But there weren't any pictures or excerpts, so I can't be sure.Quote:

I'm in awe! You rock! :D
Aw...shucks...
My mom was a librarian.
So was mine.
(and so was I!)
But I left the library world just as the internet burst onto the scene, so I'm very behind the times.
Man, that Internet Archives site is AWESOME!
You TOTALLY rock!
DH and I just stopped by Marshalls on a whim (in San Jose at Stevens Creek & Lawrence) and they have TONS of wool and cashmere sweaters for both men and women. Got a lot of xmas shopping done!

I know there are some knitters on TE; there is a gorgeous (free!) pattern for a wool cycling aran: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cycling-aran
This is in my queue, maybe someday my friends will stop reproducing and I can stop knitting for babies and get this done for me instead.
Oh cool!Quote:

Ravelry looks like fun!
I just scored a cranberry full zip Shak for 99.00 at Oregon Mountain Community on line. Never heard of this place before, but it came up in a search. Looks like they have cool stuff and free shipping over $50.00. There were a couple of other Shaks left, mostly L and XL sizes.
