Sort of! We got over 4 inches of rain the past 48 hours followed by 3 inches of snow. Egads what a soggy mess out there! Played some early morning ring around the hay bale so the sheep had fresh hay. (We have to remove the string webbing that holds the big bales together.) It usually ends up with me trying to stay ahead of four or five scamps who like to play tag. They have taken me out like a linebacker in the past so I work hard to be faster than them. Guess I should be grateful for the mud? Slowed them down a little bit! This is our Isaac, one of our East Friesian sheep. Seems we missed a burr bush in the pasture? I love him and EF wool BUT I will not enjoy removing burrs from his beautiful fleece in the Spring. Naughty sheep!
crazy quilt handspun yarn
New Handspun Yarn!
I'm working on photographing new yarn for the website! It is all handspun by me from our sheep's fleeces. The yarn takes on its own personality while spinning. I love letting the yarn tell me how it wants to be spun. It also keeps the character of the sheep who provided the wool. The only thing missing is YOU! The circle from sheep all the way to your next project is too precious and fun!
This yarn was created by our Apollo sheep! You can read all about him in his bio and his yarn will be available on the website this weekend!
