Ethel, a medium/dark grey sheep standing in a pen with hay and fresh straw. This was her first night here so she looks a little wary of everything!
Ethel standing in the larger sheep pen with the rest of the flock. She settled in quickly and gets along great with the other sheep
Ethel just after being sheared, displaying her gorgeous silvery grey coloring
Her wool freshly carded into a small batt — look for these in the shop soon as well!
This summer I added a new ewe to my flock — meet Ethel! She is a gorgeous natural colored CotswoldxCoopworth ewe. I have added her fleece to my Etsy shop, see the comments for a link to the listing. She has settled into the flock wonderfully! #Sheepsky #Skysheep #spinnersflock #SmallFarmLife #sheep

Mary, a Cotswold ewe, waits in the barn for the veterinarian to help make her eyes more comfortable. Mary is wearing a blue and green halter, and her head is turned to the right, towards an open window.
The flock in the barn with a helper who is trimming hooves. Blue paint stick marks look like a cross on the forehead of one ewe who is looking towards the camera. The blue marks say: 1 - she had been vaccinated, and 2 - her hooves have been trimmed.
Back in the pasture after their "spa day," the sheep are eating hay under a Bluebird sky. Lester, the ewe with the blue cross on her forehead, steps towards the shepherd for scritches.
Another busy day in the barn. All 37 sheep got vaccinations and hoof trims, and some who needed it got extra care. Mary, one of my rescue sheep, got surgery for entropion (eyelashes turning in). It's usually treated when a sheep is a lamb.

Wool in varying shades of pink and purple being prepped on a drum carder
The lighting at my workstation doesn’t really do it justice, but I love the colors of this batt I’m working on. It’s mostly Olive’s wool (Romeldale x) with some alpaca and silk blended in. All dyed by me #WIP #spinning #wool #spinnersflock

Freshly shorn white wool
Started skirting today. I’m really happy with how Dahlia and Olive’s fleeces turned out. I was especially curious about Olive, because I’ve never seen a Suffolk/CVM cross before. Both are soft and lovely ☺️💖

The lambs seem to have found a couple more burrs lately. I don’t know where they find them at. But I’m still eagerly anticipating this year’s shearing season!

Handspun purple dyed wool yarn on a spinning wheel bobbin
I’ve been spending some of my winter downtime practicing spinning and teaching myself the basics of processing my sheeps’ wool. I’m loving it so far! #handspinning #wool #spinnersflock #art #sheep

A group of wooly sheep of all colors stand in barn on a winter morning. They are looking expectantly at their shepherd.
Waiting for breakfast. 🐏🐏🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
