Let me introduce you all to the new cats in my shop - The Naturals. As their name implies, they are made with un-dyed all natural fiber knit up with my own hand-spun yarn in a variety of fibers. The cream kitty is made out of Shetland sheep's wool. Domestic sheep's wool (this mean it's from the USA and is a mix of many breeds of sheep) and Alpaca fiber (the Alpaca's name was Chip - cute no?) make up the cream and caramel model. While the dark brown cat is made out of Shetland wool too, it's a completely different shade do to the breeds variety of colors. Lastly, we have a sweet little gray pussy knit in a sheep's wool/angora mix from a lovely local angora rabbit breeder. So soft!
I am always amazed at the variety of expression that occurs upon completion of this simple pattern. Some look feisty, some a bit quirky, but always cute don't you agree? Should I make an all caramel alpaca too to round out the color selection a bit? What do you think about matching knitted gnomes? Maybe angora knitted bunnies with little white angora pom-pom tails? Hmmm... I definitely have toy making on my mind today!

They are adorable! I agree that they each seem to have their own temperament. The yarn looks scrumptious, too! Thank you for sharing!
