No matter how neatly I put down hay, there’s always one that has to stand in the middle of it and eat over top of their neighbor. Today it was little Sassafras.

Soft floof is soft

(Spinning flicked locks from my tiny merino lamb fleece. It is kitten cloud soft. My job is not to overtwist the heck out of it)

Although I am not known for being colourful personally, I LOVE nerding out on colour! VIsual effects, combinations, tertiary, split complimentary, analagous, tints, tones, historic, and modern. So, this love is being made into local "waste" fibre roving! #localwool #ontariofibreshed #handspinning

7/8 of the lambs so far, with one more ewe on the way. The collective nursery is beyond delightful.

Doing my first scour tonight!!! I’ll keep you updated. So far, first soak is good, I refilled the bucket, measured temp, and then slowly (gently) pushed the wool.

This wool was destined for wool pellets, but look at it!!! 😩

AN UPDATE: I definitely did it!!! I’ll flick out the tips where there’s still some crusty VM, but more the most part, it was a fairly easy scour!! 😇 #fibreprep #handspinning #localwool

A student in a recent workshop gifted me Tansy from her garden, and I got some great color from it.

One skinny old lady sheep refused to come into the barn til this morning, but everyone else enjoyed dry accommodations overnight.

#fiber #localwool ##northernnewenglandfibershed
A very skinny, very elderly ewe had the whole bale (and the snow) to herself last night - It's Lachtna, Nimbus' mom. She was happy to join the other elders in the barn this morning. The view inside the barn; a little crowded, but not too bad. Peter is looking towards to open doorway, and Mary is peeking at me through her long forelocks. You can only see their backs, but Lester and Io's fleeces are looking very nice indeed.

Drying wool by the fire. This is my gray Romney ewe, Ergo. Usually I have this wool made into yarn, but my local mill has stopped custom processing, so 🤷🏼‍♀️. Some of this was ordered as washed locks, and is going to ship out as soon as it's dry.

A closeup picture of silvery-gray wool, freshly washed and drying by a fire. Another view of the gray wool, with a hand holding some long locks. This part of the fleece is a darker color. A cattle dog, with gray fur that's a color a bit like the wool, looks at the camera as he stands next to the basket of wool.

Tomorrow the school will open for the 2025 season, marking fifty years from our founding by Norman Kennedy in 1975. Our year begins with Fleece to Fulling, a month-long intensive program where participants will make blankets from shearing to fulling the cloth.

Planning a fibre farm road trip to Vancouver Island! Does anyone know of any farms that sell fibre? Wool, alpaca, mohair, chiengora, plant fibre, anything goes really.
