Meet Freckles the farm Llama.
The sheep which do have names too but I don't know them all.
Shearing the sheep
I got some black lambswool that will hopefully spin up a nice pretty brown.
Here's some I've washed. I've carded most of that. I have about 2/3 more of the fleece left to wash, card and about all of that to spin. The fun just keeps giving with this fiber.
I didn't realize you were blogging again...yay! Your sheep shearing experience sounds like fun. I was wondering, though, how you are able to wash the fleece? I remember when you were first spinning, it was something to get used to. Have you gotten better at it? It's been a while and I wondered if it is easier now for you. Just curious.
