Christmas brought some new squeep (square sheep) from Iron Water Ranch to the farm. These are going to be super fun to process!

Took a fun besom (aka witch's broom) making class today!

I've been using this nice fall weather to knock out scouring some fleeces. Finished a Shropshire fleece and a Valais Blacknose lamb fleece.

Did I need to purchase 6 new fleeces at Maryland Sheep and Wool? No. Did I get them anyway? You bet I did! Photos to come later.

Threw a nice vessel on the wheel, and then spent the whole afternoon obscuring it completely. Maybe it’ll be worth it when it’s done though.

I am slowly making my way through my singles, trying to get bobbins free for my big sweater spin. Hopefully, I am going to have all prep work done for it by mid-June to have everything ready for spinning it during tour de fleece this year!

Pulling out my fleeces to take inventory and I realized I apparently really need to expand the white/gray fleece stock.

Also, look at that cormo x corriedale/cvm! Gorgeous! Her name is Nancy Artingstall from Dresow Family Farm.

Now that the fleece I scoured is dry, I was able to weigh it....8.667lbs of rambouillet cross! My plan was to try to get enough for a sweater, and I think I have that, plus some!

Deciding to scour one of my biggest fleeces (10.11 pounds!) on a chilly day was probably not the best idea 🥶

The supervisor is hard at work

Finishing up getting my samples of cormo ready for being made into a batt. Started off as 2oz of raw fleece, which I then scoured and picked to 1.48oz.

Spent the Super Owl adding to my growing pile of singles to ply.

Colorway is Cockadoodledoo! from Kim Dyes Yarn.

The supervisor has been checking on the progress of those files she requested all morning.

I did something really silly and accidentally got 3 gradient sets of braids in 2 different bases, so now I'm slowly working my way through blending them on my drum carder for the spin.
