Cooler weather means focus on fibre in the paddock 

New lambs are running and bouncing on their long legs..gangly and so cute. It's always wonderful to watch the joy of new life revelling in nature.   

Corriedales have such individusl personalities.Add to this breeding sprcifically for fleece quality, comfort level and colour and they become even more fascinating to the textile artisan.

I love knowing where my raw materials come from; knowing that anything I create is a partnership beteeen me and a specific  sheep or alpaca.  To felt a beret with wool from Winnie and dyed with gumnuts from the east paddock - is immensely satisfying


Last month was health focussed ...vaccinations and drenching..this weekend is shearing ...got to keep our fluffy friends.comfortable!
