Wool from the Ukraine

The woman who cleans for me has a son who is a medical doctor and he was going back to the Ukraine (where she is from), and I guess that each time he goes back, he buys wool for his mother. She brought some for me and it's really quite lovely--a stiffer wool, but a beautiful color. I just need to decide what to make with it now. I guess she's well aware of how difficult it is to get nice wool here.

The other day she was wearing a gorgeous sweater that she had knit. The work was fantastic and the pattern really showed off the beautiful yarn nicely. I'll have to find a pattern for something similar. (Sorry, the flash doesn't really do the color justice.)
