Supermodel. Mascot. Cuddlebuddy. He is a sheep of many talents, but who is Sheepy really?

Sheepy is the wooly mascot of I made yarn. He models my scarves, he poses in pictures and he's my best inanimate friend (he sleeps with me ;). Click below for more.

Sheepy knows what people say about male models, and wants everyone to know that the rumors are NOT TRUE. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Sheepy wears a bow because he likes to feel pretty. There's nothing un-masculine about feeling pretty.

Sheepy is a manly ram. A manly ram who likes to wear scarves and loves yarn.

Actually, I got Sheepy for Christmas from my boyfriend's family, when I was visiting them in the UK. And besides being a sheepy supermodel, he's almost as good as a nice warm hug when I need it.
