Not an official part of #revpitwaiting but had to help a ewe out with a head-first birth (most livestock shouldn't birth head-first).
It was my first one without the help of a vet. Both are doing well! 🐑

Is it a sign of good luck? #RevPitWaiting
This morning, the first lamb was born.

"Spotting a Manx Loaghtan on the cliffs of the Isle of Man feels like observing a story from ancient mythology unfolding. These prehistoric creatures sport a deep, earthy wool and a striking crown of four or six dark, curving horns."

....and finished! The handspun Foliage cardigan from a few posts ago. Naturally coloured fleece from a local Manx loaghtan rare breed sheep. Vintage buttons to match the autumn/fall 🍁 colours #handspinning 🧶 #knitting #fibreshed #fibershed #rarebreeds #manxloaghtan #rarebreedsheep #spinning
Fleece, batt, handspun yarn and partially knitted cardigan in a natural brown colour
From fleece to spun yarn to sweater. Fibre prep bores me rigid but I really like the end product. This is a beautiful Manx loaghtan fleece, easy to spin & makes a springy handspun yarn #handspinning #spinsky #manxloaghtan 🧶 #knitting
...I was thrilled to buy some #wool from @parvabrook
