Our Shetland sheep are getting ready for Spring and their new lambs. Emily Chamelin will be here again.

She did a fantastic job for us last year and since then she has gone on to win 2nd place in the country

and as I write she is representing the U.S. in New Zealand at the International Sheep Shearing

Competitions.

Wow! we are so proud of her!

Luxurious Shetland Roving Continued

For some reason these photos wouldn't post on the previous page. Here is our 2011 roving up close.

Gurdy Run Mill did a great job for us. I highly recommend them! The last post has a link to them.

If anyone's interested I'd be happy to send out samples.

Silvery Cream from Super friendly Una

A mixture of light & darker greys

Shetland Black from the boss around here!~Bella

I'm spinning Bella's fleece right now and I LOVE it! It's so rewarding to be finally enjoying the process.

Luxurious Shetland Roving

We're very pleased with the roving we got back from Gurdy Run Mill! Take a look. I'm finally getting the hang of spinning on my new Lendrum wheel but I know I'll never use all of this glorious roving so...
