hand carded, spun, knitted Icelandic sweaters
Here is another of our handmade sweaters. Kevin gave it to Margaret for Christmas last year and she wears it alot! A limited number of gift certificates for handmade sweaters are available. Please call or e-mail if a sweater is not currently available and you would like a gift certificate.

  

Tim's sweater
Three pictures of Tim...all with his eyes closed! What are the chances of that? If his eyes were open you would see how perfectly the blue in his sweater matches. Kendall had this sweater made for Tim last Christmas, and I dare say that it keeps him plenty warm!

Icelandic Sweater for sale
A marvelously heavy and warm sweater made from the ground-up, literally. This sweater's fleece was sheared from three of our sheep, washed, carded and spun, then knitted. Included with the sweater is a card with pictures of the sheep from which it originated. This sweater is a large size.

This sweater is a men's extra-large,and the previous picture did not do it justice. Thankfully, Dan came to our farm for the fiber tour and tried it on for me. I really didn't know how great this sweater looked until now! This is a sweater that will last forever (or longer). Thanks for modeling for me Dan! (Poor guy didn't know what he was in for when all he wanted was to visit a sheep farm!) (Dan returned this winter and left "HIS" sweater) Dan and Chris from South Salem, NY, more than 150 miles from here came to visit and they find themselves part of Common Threads Farm... they are now interwoven into the fabric of our farm and our lives as friends and we are thankful that these travelers wandered on over to Shushan. Be warm Dan!
