{"product_id":"gayfeather-jacob-combed-top","title":"“Gayfeather\" Jacob combed top","description":"\u003cp\u003eJacob is an old English breed of sheep that is known for being piebald (spots!) and having multiple sets of horns (sometimes 6 or 8 horns on a single sheep!) The wool is rustic and toothy but soft and fine enough for sweaters. I find it softer than Cheviot and coarser than Shetland, and a disorganized fluffy crimp that lends itself well to woollen drafting right from the combed top. Since they are so spotted, the wool blends into a warm heathered grey colour that takes dye beautifully. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI named this colourway after one of my favorite native perennials, Liatris spicata. It goes by many common names but gayfeather is the best one (objectively). \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"October Knits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51608904335416,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/9067\/4488\/files\/IMG_2062.heic?v=1770224222","url":"https:\/\/www.octoberknits.com\/products\/gayfeather-jacob-combed-top","provider":"October Knits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
