We all have one...in horse language they're called a d**k (jerk). See that little girl looking at you? She's my d**k. She's now a yearling and getting worst. If her wool wasn't so gorgeous, she'd be long gone. Today, she was relentless in harassing the ducklings. She ran round and round the dog pen (where the ducklings are) and scared them. She thought it was great fun. Now to go fix the fence....

Here's some interesting info that I acquired through Pendleton Mills. They use traditional 1927 fine fleece Shetland wool for a lot of their garments. They love the next to skin comfort, drape and softness of the wool. Today I received one of their shawl sweaters (in my size!) In the post. It is absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately, my camera isn't picking up the right color (brown heather) of the sweater. Here's a good representation of drape, etc...to all you knitters and handspinners our there.

Thank you all who came out to the CT sheep and wool festival yesterday, regardless of the rain and raw weather. We sold out of our raw fleeces and just want to remind everyone that purchased one that we stand behind all our fleeces that we sell. Happy spinning!

We will have some gorgeous raw fleeces for sale at the CT Wool and Sheep Festival at the North Haven Fairgrounds, North Haven, CT on Saturday, April 29. I'll be at the booth from 11am - 1pm. Stop by and say hello. If fine fleece Shetland isn't what you're looking for, there will be plenty of other raw fleeces available. Hope to see you there!

Looks fun! May 27-28, 2023 at the Cummington Fairgrounds. There will be sheep there as well.🙃

A major part of our event is vendors selling fiber, wool and crafts! What has everyone created from their purchases at our 2022 event?

We're getting ready for Christmas on the farm here and this little scootch tore the bells off all the other girls' Christmas collars.
