This exquisite hand spun, hand crocheted Pygora shawl was a creation by Sally McCarrick of Windy Hill Farm.  Sally won the Black Sheep Cup with this beautiful Pygora shawl in 1998 at the Black Sheep Gathering in Eugene, Oregon.  It is a very prestigious honor to win this award and it's especially exciting to win it with Pygora fiber at a predominately wool sheep show!  

The shawl is made from natural colored Type-A Pygora fiber.  It was spun to about a gossamer weight (finer than lace weight).  It took 1,500 yards of 2 ply yarn and it weighs only 7 3/4 ounces! 

Sally was also awarded a plaque for this shawl from the Aurora Hand Spinners Guild and won the Supreme Champion Diamond Award at the 1999 Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival in Canby, OR.  She also took "Best of Show" at the NWRSA conference in 1999.  

Thank you Sally, for letting me be the proud owner of this very special heirloom Pygora shawl for all these years!   It is cherished by all.
