I love seeing pictures of sheep and their fleeces, so please keep those coming! I’d love to also see “A day on the farm” thread because I think that could be fun but I understand if that’s a lot of work to keep up with!

This was a wild ride from the start, it’s been 9 years since I last dealt with a puppy full time and this made me tired just reading it haha 😂 I love Pyrenees though- such great farm dogs

Oops lol! Well if you do decide to get a bag it is so much fun to open it up and I’d love to see pictures!

Again no name so this one is dubbed Pretty in Pink. Base is nsw Norwegian wool- definitely have never spun this before. It’s a bit coarse but I think it would be great for spindle spinning so I think I’ll save it for either my Turkish or one of my support spindles :)

Makes me kind of sad that none of these came with names on the package but I’m going to dub this one Venus Flytrap. The base is nsw Cormo, I can’t remember if I’ve spun this or not but I’m always down to try something new!

A bit later than Xmas but I still love this one! This is Merino Bamboo (70/30) which I’m excited to try because I have never spun merino or bamboo. I heard both can be a bit slippery for newbies and I guess I still understand my spinning skills which is why it’s taken so long.

Is this the most perfect fall color or what? The base is nsw Rambouillet- which is one of my favorite fiber types! I was so worried to spin my first braid of it because it was “the good stuff” but now when I go to buy fiber it’s a fiber I reach for often.

Here we have another Shaniko Tweed 89/6/5 (Shaniko/ acrylic/ nylon). I am always so impressed by Cash+coco and her color ways, last year I bought a kilo of hand dyed yarn from her and that was amazing too! Plus I love that she’s from Minnesota too!

This one is very similar to the other one color wise- it’s more muted but the purples and greys are so good! This base is Shaniko Tweed and it is 89 Shaniko/ 6 acrylic/ 5 nylon. Buttery soft and I bet the slubs will look amazing in the finished yarn 🤩
