Fall is over and winter is coming fast!  We had a frost the other day and it was a reality check that winter is just around the corner.  I do have a few white Wensleydale ewes available and one black wether. The ewes range from 91%-98%.  All of the sheep have wonderful fleeces!  Here are some photos of the fleeces just recently sheared from these sheep.

Summer Update

posted in: Daily Life, farm, horses, Knit, Online Shop, Spinning Fiber, Uncategorized | 0

Summer is here!  I have added some new wools to the shop with more to come.

 

We always have Killdeer nesting in the gravel along the driveway. They are so small, but are up and running around soon after hatching.

 

We have had so much rain that the riding arena has grass growing in it!  The horses are working hard to mow it.

 

In my “spare” time, between working with the sheep, riding, dyeing, weaving, and spinning, I have been knitting up bunches of swatches for items I will have in the Cincinnati Weaver’s Guild sale in November.  With summer here, it seems as though November is far off, but it will be here in no time and so will winter.  So enjoy summer while you can!
