Shepherd's Wool by Stonehedge Fiber Mill is a 3-ply worsted weight yarn made and milled in Michigan by a family-owned and run company. The yarn is fabulously soft, made from fine Merino top. There are 17 saturated solids from which the all the heathers and marls are created for a complete palette of delicious colors.

The yarn is perfect for felting, making it my first choice for felted bags and flowers. Because the colors are so vibrant and alive, Shepherd's Wool worsted and fingering was also my pick for many of the flowers in Noni Flowers - the Shepherd's Wool flowers always look at the peak of floral perfection, rather than garish and overly bright or too muted for flowers at their best.

But it is much more than a great felter: we feel this yarn rivals some top brand Cashmeres, making it wonderful to knit with and a pleasure to wear, even next to bare skin. Once you knit with this yarn, you will find an excuse to make mittens, sweaters, gauntlets, Ella Coats, and hats out of it. You'll find yourself saving even tiny bits so you can make crazy ski beanies out of it. You might not want to knit with anything else . . .

Each 4 oz skein contains 250 yds (228.5m) and knits at about 5 sts/inch on US size 6 - 8 needles.

Choosing the perfect closure for your bag is as important for function as it is for the beauty of the bag itself. The Best Sew-In Snap is ideal for any project that requires a strong magnetic closure. Use it on the inside of most any handbag, or to maintain crisp shaping on a tote. Cover the snap with a lining for an uninterrupted bag interior. Put several at the base of a bag flap. Use one to snap your key fob into the top of your bag for easy grabbing.  

But the applicability of this snap goes beyond bags: consider how the smaller sized snap may be used on garments such as raincoats or knitted sweater coats. Or to attach flowers to little bags or hats so that you can change the flowers as often as you change your mind.

Available in 3 popular finishes so you can match the hardware finish of any hardware you are using (antique brass, gunmetal, or nickel) and two useful sizes (18mm and 14mm diameters), At .40 cents each for the 14mm size and .50 for the 18mm size, you can hardly beat the pricing. Buy 1, 20, or 120!
