Horned Dorset yarn and some knitted samples

 Fingering weight

3.8-4 oz.

400 yards

$25

 Light worsted weight

4 oz. 200 yards

 I do not know why this particular yarn is not white.

I think the mill may have rewashed the fleece, and 

left the rest washed as it was from here. Some mills

have chlorine in their water which will change the color.

Worsted weight

150 yds. 4 oz.

$18

 The sweater is knit in the light worsted.

All items below were knit in the fingering weight.

All will be at the NH Sheep & Wool festival

in Deerfield, NH Mother's Day weekend.

Crazy time of year

Jerry is shearing EVERY day after work now, and I am trying to get caught up on what I need to do before my next ankle surgery.

All 33 of our sheep have been sheared. And, I have another 10 fleeces (as of today) from 3 other farms here.

I am hoping he can bring my skirting table up to the deck so I won't have to go far to process fleece after surgery. 😊 I am also hoping to get these 43 skirted, photographed, bagged, tagged, and weighed before next Friday! I can upload the pictures and update the blog while I am recovering.

So, stay tuned!

Shearing is starting up in full force!!!

We have 33 of our own fleeces and 10 other fleeces from 3 different farms. We are shearing every day this week. I am hoping to get the skirting table set up next Monday, and skirt and photograph the available fleeces Monday and Tuesday. Hopefully it will be a LOT warmer than it is right now.
My ankle surgery has been pushed back to Friday the 5th. So, I am going to be trying to get as many fleeces ready to post before that. I can upload pictures and create a new post while I am healing. Hubby can pack up fleeces and take them to the Post Office. 😁
