Things have been very busy and I haven't been paying attention to the blog. Thought I would do a little catch up. I attended the Maryland Sheep and Wool Show in early May and got lots of good ideas for projects. We purchased a Lincoln X fleece and cleaned it, to get curly staples for an upcoming project - a rya rug. It's a long pile rug, made by hooking wool staples around the warp of your loom. Can't wait to get started!
We are now certified fiber farmers - purchasing our first two ewes - Annie, a Romney; and Trudy, a Karakul.
I'll have much more to report as the summer progresses. Making lots of great things, and preparing for sheep shearing in August and October. We will also be finalizing our fall craft show schedule so visit the web site for updates.
