[Nfb-krafters-korner] For the new year:Friday's question

[Marianne]

The Ice Land sweaters may be the same.  Ice Land wool is different from any 
other wool.  The island is isolated and very cold so the sheep produce a 
unique wool that is especially warm.  It is very cold here now so I will 
appreciate the warmth of the sweater in the future.
