handspun???
One of the gents that I work with lives on a farm. Today he mentioned that his wife spins. Apparently she spins all sorts of fibres, and knits as well. He has a hat somewhere, made out of dog hair (or so he says).
So I’ve asked him if he’ll check with his wife as to whether she’d be willing to handspin me some sock yarn, and how much it will cost. Yay! Hopefully he’ll have some good news soon 
I’m pretty sure that he’s mentioned her spinning to me previously, but I, in typical fashion, forgot. Be cool to make someone some handspun knit socks for Yule, tho

[…] Oh…one other thing. I mentioned that my co-worker’s wife spins, right? Well, I came back from lunch the next day and he had brought me some lovely handspun silk/merino blend sock weight yarn. Holy Mother of Pearl. Apparently, if I went “WOW”, I would know the cost of such a yarn, and it would be a gift from her to me. Yowza!!!! I am currently trying to figure out just what, exactly, I want to do with it. Because, y’know, whoever gets these socks are getting Very Special Socks, Indeed. […]
