Meet 1731, 1497, and 1583! I am super excited about these fleeces and these girls! (And also 1426, whose lovely soft grey fleece is not pictured.)

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!!!

I'm back to working on my vest with our cormo/kid mohair sport. Zoey will be contributing white hairs here and there, because knitting with a cup of coffee and a terrier in your lap is the perfect start to the day!

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.

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

We are enjoying a beautiful, sunny, warm Saturday in Maine! The chickens are enjoying being out and about, and we are getting kidding pens ready in the doe barn. Happy Spring!!!

There is hay in the barn, but they are happier outside, at the all you can eat buffet.

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. 🥰

Well, this sunny Maine morning the barn temperature was in the double digits *above* zero!!! It felt balmy!
It's nice to see so many fierce fiber artists and farmers here. I love my flock.
