There are almost always buckets of fleece soaking either to wash or dye |
There is dyeing… |
and more dyeing |
Which leads, of course, to large screens of fleece drying |
More of Blackberry’s fleece being processed for blog friend, Michaele |
More carding…lamb’s wool and mohair |
and more spinning… this time Hera’s mill roving |
Wow. Busy, busy place!!! Those colors are vivid!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I wish I could do what you do. Beautiful!
I wish I could do what you do too. Yesterday I was given an angora rabbit so at least I can drop spin a little, although I think sheep would be more fun.
Warmly,
Tracey
Lovely, lovely colors.
These colors are artistic! Each combination an own picture. Fantastic imaginations of several hats , socks, tippets and pullovers come into my brain.
Oh, my to work amongst such color and your own girl's fleeces… sheer beauty! How peaceful and satisfying.
Oh My! I'm in serious envy…
what gorgeous wool! what type of sheep do you raise? the fleece looks wonderful!
farmama – all of our sheep our long-wool breeds – the majority are Border Leicester crosses – Coopworth, Lincoln, Romney, Wensleydale, Blue-faced Leicester – they are all beauties 🙂
yummy! I'd like to buy some fleece from you to try. i checked out your etsy shop. which fleece do you recommend?
i just found a local family who raises wensleydale sheep….i'm so tempted to buy some lambs!
love to you and yours,
