Machine Knitting and everything else...
Every once in a while, I will pick up some feathers from around the farm. I have guinea fowl. Their feathers are beautiful and unique. They do take dye well. I have dyed a few. I still have not used them for anything. I know they work well as an “add in” to art yarn. I just don’t think I would ever wear anything with feathers in it.
I have added some farm fresh Wensleydale lamb locks to my online farm shop. There are some washed white and silver/grey/black along with some dyed locks. These locks are from my high percentage Wensleydale lambs. The locks are very soft and silky.
Fall is here and it has been very busy here on the farm. I took a few of the Wensleydale ewes to be bred with UK semen. I will ultrasound them in a couple of weeks to see if they settled. If not, they will be bred with my high percentage Wensleydale ram.
The weekend I am picking up another Cormo ram and a ewe to incorporate into my Cormo breeding program. These new sheep have great genetics and fleeces and will be a great addition to the flock.
