Getting ready for shearing

That time again, thinking of spring. Especially here in the valley of the sun where we start to think about shearing starting in February. February comes fast after having Christmas and new years. Seems like a month isn't enough time to get everything done: making sure blades are sharp, equipment oiled and clients scheduled.

Another thing I am attempting is launching an Etsy site. I will be featuring my handspun yarn and some wonderful roving from two SW farms woolhalla Tunis (www.woolhallatunis.com) and Cunnington Farm (wee.covingingtonfarm.com). The main wool harvest I will be keeping in stock is Tunis and Tunis blends. I will have to figure out how to get the Etsy link on here but for now www.etsy.com/triplyfibers/shop is where you can find me.

I shear most of the sheep fleece I am using in the roving as well as in my yarn. So as my blog title states I harvest wool and use it from start to finish.
If you are reading this and you are a local Arizona sheep,alpaca,llama,or goat owner give me a shout.

Have a great spring!

Little party favors

Well I spent a couple hours making fun little party gifts for my wife's co-workers yesterday. They turned out great! Hope everyone likes them.
