Summer Sheep

Summer has arrived!  The sheep don’t seem to mind the warmer weather.  They spend the day under shady shelters next to the waterers.

I finished my handwoven rug.  Still deciding on what to weave next on the Toika loom!

Still working on my scrappy overshot scarves on my Schacht Baby Wolf.  This has been a rather slow weave since I have been dividing my time with a tapestry on my Mirrex loom.

Washing and Dyeing

Hello Spring!  Finally!  I have been busy washing and dyeing wool.  I will continue to list wools on the Etsy farm shop as I have time.

Catching Up…

I have been listing some locks and handspun in the shop as I have time.  Since the winter weather has let up a bit, I have had time to get caught up on some projects.  🙂

The sheep are doing great and the fleeces look super nice!

Spring is almost here!  It’s time to make some sport socks on my Erlbacher Gearhart circular sock machine.

The warp is on the sectional beam.  I am still debating on which draft so not much happening on the AVL at the moment!
