Homegrown, sweaters from Lucan business from the sheep's back to yours, a new family business provides quality woolen products fr6m their farm ' Hy Erin Lobb T -A staff LUCAN - What las originally a hobby has now turned into a busi- ness for a Lucan farmer. "I.started a year -and -a -half -ago by going to craft shows in Lucan. Now I'm going to shows in Kitchener and Toronto," said Janis Toonders, own- er of Poly's Patch. - Toonders raises her own Polypay sheep, processes her own wool, and knits the sweaters she sells from her hone. "The Polypay sheep have nice fine wool, that's why 1 'chose to raise them." Toonders explains that the -esheep also produce good carcasses for meat, and lamb approximately three times a year. The sweaters that Toonders knits are all original designs, and are also available as kits. "I learned to knit at Barb's Country Crafts in six les- sons. After that I just .practised by trial and error, kept notes and test swatches until I came up with some- thing I liked." The processing of the wool is done at MacAuslands Woolen Mill in Prince Edward Island. They wash spin and dye the deeper colors. The rest Toonders does at home. "At the time I knew of no other mills, now there is one in New Lis- kard. But, I'm very satisfied with the job they do in P.E.I.." The wool that is processed at home is done with a camp stoveRVid a canning pot. By adding twelve.1 skeins at a time, and the proper dye mix, Toonders can create cus- tomized colors in an hour.
