Our baby goats are growing fast! Some are heading out to their new homes next week, so today will be spent getting them all ready! We still have some available, if you want some adorable goats in your life!

Well, the tiny needles for my sport weight vest might have lost me...I cast on a Sea Haven with our cormo/mohair dk yarn this week, and I am loving it!!!

We had a great first day at the Maine Fiber Frolic, despite the cold rain. It was great to see everyone, and we are looking great forward to better weather tomorrow! 😁 (Neva and Nutmeg are tired!)

Experimenting some more with dyes today. It sometimes brings delightful surprizes! This is a Maine raised merino/ramboullet wool and kid mohair blend, that we made right here in our mill.

Overdyed our grey cormo/fine mohair DK. It was my first round overdyeing this yarn, and I am loving the results! Leaf green and pansy are two of my favorite colors.

This is Olive, helping me showcase a hat I bought in 1996 at a craft show. I didn't knit, spin, or have sheep/goats. I came home with 2 handmade hats that day, celebrating our return to New England after graduate school. I did not know it was the start...

Spring has (finally!) arrived on the farm, and I am loving chores without a coat, warm sunshine, daffodils blooming in a sheltered nook near the mill, beautiful wool from a mill customer, my fabulous terriers, and this super special baby goat, Olive.

A nice start to the day with triplet doe kids from CWF Gina and HGF Ishmael. Isn't the pinto a fancy little thing?!?!? 😍

0300 barn check, under a moon so bright I didn't need my headlamp, found twins for CWF Isla. I got them tucked into a mama motel, and all are doing well. It's always nice to find clean, dry, healthy kids with a doting mother!

Twin boys last night for CWF Gina and HGF Ishmael! Pretty flashy leg markings on the one buckling! Gina is an excellent mother, just like her own dam. I love this doe line.

It's been a busy few days at the farm, with lots of new babies arriving. There is nothing cuter than a baby goat.

Here's a little more happiness for your day. CWF Lily Garland had twin doe kids today, one white and one grey badger! Sire is our grand champion PCF BJ. Mama and babies are doing great. ❤️

0430 and all is well! This week kicked off kidding season and frequent barn checks. So far, we has a beautiful black doe kid from CWF Lizzo, and a sweet pair of twins from CWF Isadora (aka Dory.) All sired by HGF Ishmael. ❤️

Wool keeps you warm...
(Yes, they could go under shelter, but with 4 to 6 inches of wool, why bother???)

Last night, CWF Lizzo presented of first kid sired by HGF Ishmael, the gorgeous buck we got from Higher Ground Farm last year. Black doe kid!! Welcome to the farm, little girl. 💕

Just picked up a new addition for the fiber studio! (I guess I need to start weaving again...) Big thanks to our friend B.A. for letting this girl come and live at our fiber farm. 🥰
