Four exquisite natural-colored Romney yarns.

The top 3 were shorn by us for @themoons6 south of Colorado Springs, and the white is from a small farm in Pennsylvania.

Who else sees a beautiful natural colorwork forming!? Fair Isle??

These will be available on our website(you heard me right!!), and @thesalidafiberfestival !

Anyone else in the @mountainsandplainsfibershed working on their project for the Farm to Fashion gallery??

This is the Anouk Sweater by @ncl_knits , knit entirely with @gayfeatherfarms yarn!

We shear their sheep every spring, and i@am so excited to show off their amazing flock of natural colored australian bond sheep!

Funny tidbit, the main color of the sweater if from a sheep named Fatima… and as i was shearing her I said I wanted a sweater quantity of her fiber… So when it came back from the mill, they told me and i immediately bought enough for a sweater!

Went up to Longmont to shear for @greenroostfarm today, and got to meet Charlie, Fred, and George, all perfect gentlemen! Ok, maybe Greg got the chance to practice sheep-jitsu on Fred, but ended up with three happy customers.

Dye flowers do double duty, creating color and providing food for pollinators! And this Hunts Bumblebee is flitting around the Sulfur Cosmos!

After a big shearing season, we always like to take an off-grid recovery weekend. Was great to get away and unplug, and spend some time with nature. And of course, Erin had to spin.

Last Friday at the Estes Park Wool Market, I took a class how to make the best use of your drum carder with @clemesandclemes. I have been spinning over 20 years with little to no formal instruction, so taking this class was a GAME CHANGER! I learned so much, and immediately went home to play with my carder!

I was also lucky enough to be in the same class with @truebluefiber , who I have followed for a while and also happens to be in the @mountainsandplainsfibershed ! I hope to do more projects with her in the future! It was an excellent day with the most excellent company!

Got to experience the miracle of new life while shearing last weekend!

Fern was, uhh, fairly round when she was brought over for shearing, but we didn’t realize quite how ready to go she was until her water broke on the board immediately after we finished shearing her. Thankfully they were able to get her into a private stall, and within a few hours she’d dropped her new lamb, Greg! Happy to say he was up and about a following mama, and looked nice and healthy.
