In the Fiber Room

“She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands”
~ Proverbs 31:13

  1. How fascinating this is! Love these dyed wools! Do you shear the sheep in the winter. Visited a sheep farm in Wisconsin and was told that that was the time they did the shearing. A bit chilly

    1. We will shear a few weeks before the start of lambing… this year, probably the end of March or beginning of April. It's a lot easier to observe lambing progression or problems without all that wool on the sheep.
