Sheep, Yarn, and Colorwork: Knitting the Natalie and Lilac Beanie & the Story Behind Spoiled Sheep

Join Brenda K.B. Anderson on for a special LIVE stream with guest Katrina Walker, where they will discuss Spoiled Sheep and the intricacies of running a sheep farm. You’ll also get to watch a demonstration on how to create the stunning “Natalie and Lilac Beanie” using Spoiled Sheep yarn! The colorwork pattern of this beanie, reminiscent of houndstooth, might seem challenging at first, but it’s actually crafted with slipped stitches. This technique involves using only one color at a time, making it easier to manage your yarn without tangling!

This beautiful hat features two naturally colored yarns from Spoiled Sheep, sourced from a boutique flock at Rose Butte Ranch near Spokane, Washington. The sheep are lovingly cared for, and this attention to detail shines through in the quality of the yarn. This rustic yarn is not only strong and durable but also soft to the touch.
