fiber samples

I was given a few tiny samples of Gotland fiber, in 4 colors (ranging from mist grey to charcoal). For those of you that don't know, Gotland was the fiber used to make the cloaks in the Lord of the Rings movies. It is really soft, given it's durability, and the spun yarn has this lovely pewtery-silvery sheen. I quickly spun up some singles from the tufts of wool, and knit it into a headband. I think I might be sold on the medium grey. After shearing this spring, I hope to get enough to spin and knit a cloak hooded cardigan.
