Have fun! Here's a blanket I spun and wove. Turned into a breed study - spun single breed yarn. A lot of it is Shetland or Jacob, but also Finn and Gotland.

I don't trust the Dem machine trying to crush him more.

While I prefer the Tasha Tudor illustrations for Wind in the Willows, I'll take any well done depiction of the story
