The Hay is in…

The first cutting of hay is baled and stacked in the barn.  We got it cut and baled just before the rains.  There are a few wagon loads and lots of round bales.hay

Got some spinning done…

handspunI take lots of photos (not just of sheep and fiber).  We were exploring on our old property down the way and I got some great photos of this old truck.  Some nice colors for dyeing.  As you can see from the photos, the rain was coming…and it hasn’t left since.

Shop Update and Lots of Rain

I have listed new dyed locks listed in the online farm shop.  The dark Wensleydale locks are from a black/silver fleece and I over dyed them with a mix of purples.

My husband replaced the back beam on my Saori SX60H loom.  The back beam had warped (wood not dried correctly?).  My dealer (Saori Santa Cruz) ordered a replacement beam and now it is installed and ready for a warp!

Took a short break at the lake… summer is here and it is hot!
