RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 09/17/18> Black sheep, blacklisted, black balled… why is black almost always the adjective describing something bad?
I didn't know that is where the term black sheep came from, interesting...I would think black wool would be quite scarce and valuable, especially for knitters! :) Great write @sultnpapper..in this world the wrong words can cause wars! Or in the case of steemit...blacklisted, yikes
Yes, black wasn't the color of choice for wool back in the early 1800's but like @bigtom13 said now it doesn't matter since it all gets bleached before using so the can dye it from a consistent starting point of color, white.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for stopping by and giving a look.
