Hand painted brushed mohair: Grape Harvest

‘Tis the season for us to be readying for sheep and wool festivals. Our animals have been sheared and our fleece sent into be processed. I am spinning, beading, dyeing, and hand painting. Not to mention a great deal of knitting is taking place.

Alas – no shows.

So, we invite you to take a look at our Etsy shop. If you don’t see what you want, drop us a note.

Thanks,

Ellen & Jim

Just Back…from Rhinebeck!

Wowie!  Zowie!

Rhinebeck booth display

We had a great time at Rhinebeck.  Our very first time as a vendor!  We subbed in for our friends from Biltmore Wool Barn.  It was everything we hoped it would be. Thanks Kathy and Mark for thinking of us!

The festival is HUGE!  But it is very well run.  Our booth space in Barn 39 was immaculate – load in and out was a breeze.  And everyone around us was grand, especially the show visitors!  We learned lots about what to do and maybe not do.  We have our fingers crossed that we will have a “year 2”!

Spring in November!

It’s true.  This week the weather has been glorious with temperatures reaching into the 70’s. No one is complaining – not Jim or I or our animals!

Oh – we have more animals – 8 alpacas have been added to our flock.

Bacca, Casper, Richard, Sapphron, Daisy, Tansy, Oreo, and Reese – we need to get name tags!  They join Dorito, M&M and Telemark.  Sadly we lost Dazzle a bit ago.  We have LOTS of fiber!

IMG_1578Sadly, our dear, Zeke – the original yellow dog is slowing down greatly.  He still manages to get down to the barn, but often gets confused on the way back.  He is one great dog!

ZekeandAlphHope your fall is as beautiful as ours!
