Shearing season is over...Well... after Wednesday when I shear 3 Llamas up in the mountains. Famous last words though... then someone else calls for some animals to be sheared. Love it though... But now with a little time on my hands and being shut in with the 105+ temps, it is time to catch up on some computer work and some fleece washing and yarn spinning!. I thought I would share a few pictures from the shearing season then I will share a bit of yarn samples I have been working on the last couple weeks. So stay tuned!

Well finally I have to show off some freshly shorn fleece! A CVM fleece is the dark grey and the wonderful Merio is the white. I will just say the Merino spun-up into a fantastic two-ply that is going to be perfect for some soft fingerless mittens!
