Hello Friends~With a week or so of steady rains in our pocket, the pastures are starting to turn green again. Yay! The shop has been quiet for awhile but I’m preparing a big update for the holidays. This week, I’m expecting to receive light and dark gray sport-weight Romney yarn back from the mill. I also have a few pops of scoured and combed white merino—so soft—and natural colored Romeldale/CVM boxed and ready. Not sharing publicly yet, but since we’re friends…. I’m also developing an online community subscription highlighting the farm, sheep, and fiber arts. I’m most excited about the opportunities for families and classrooms to participate more directly in lambing. I’ll have extra lamb videos, meet-and-greets with the babies, and a community to geek out about it all. Still working out the final details, but it should be up and running in time for holiday gifting. As for me, I’m looking forward to fall color and cuddling up with Scott and the kids around the fire pit. Next up…Shearing is October 26! If you’re interested in helping out, let me know. Many hands make light work, as they say. Lamb shares will also be available soon. Be sure to add yourself to the waitlist if you’d like to be notified. Details On the needles…I finished the cream scarf that I was working on last month. The ends still need to be woven in and the whole thing blocked, but it’s close. Rather than starting on a practical project, I’ve cast on a tiny lamb sweater using leftover Malabrigo (Dos Tierras in English Rose). There’s no pattern although I’m more or less copying the shape of a dog sweater that I had laying around. So, yes, I’m winging it. What’s the worst that could happen? Love and magic.
