Carding up Some Batts

Smooth Textured Batt

I have been super busy carding up some batts.  I have my Matchless set up on double drive and have been spinning like crazy for a new weaving project I have in mind.

The project I am wanting to weave is a really neat woven hat using the Saori method of weaving.  I got the idea for the hat from Jill of Saori Santa Cruz.  She always has something neat she is working on and the hat really caught my attention.  I hope to have enough yarn spun up soon so I can start weaving!

…Have You Any Wool?…

I was outside feeding the other day and took this photo of one of my barn cats (Liquid) with one of the Cormo ewes (Matilda).  I rarely have my “real” camera with me when I am out doing the farm chores.  I just so happened to have my phone with me and I took the photo with it.

I thought about the nursery rhyme, “BaaBaa Black Sheep” when I took the photo.  I know, Matilda is white, but I still thought about it!

The Cormo are getting close to lambing.  They are due mid-March.
