I have added green yarn to Etsy.
My sheep's wool dyed with goldenrod and indigo.
Unfortunately I still can't ship to the US, but if you are anywhere else in the world I would love to send you some green yarn 🌿🌿🌿

Most of these cows were up in the mountains last week. They usually come down in the beginning of October.

Cows! There was a cow show in our village today. It's not so much a fair anymore, I don't know if people still buy animals there.
Also there was a cow bells exhibition for the first time. I'll put more pictures in the comments.

Or maybe she just shows me what she thinks about my evening activities. It's time to feed the cat, not to play with wool! 😆

Every evening when the sheep go to the barn Mimma the cat gets her supper. But today I've stayed out a bit longer.
Here is Mimma, sitting near the place where I'm working. Not interested at all in what I'm doing and when I will finally go home. Just watching the sunset.

Nothern Italy, Alps

It's the ground floor of the house really. Sheep or cattle on the ground floor, humans on the first floor. So humans stay a bit dryer and warmer in winter.

It's not a barn in itself, it's the ground floor of the house. The living rooms are upstairs so sheep (or, historically, cattle. People mostly have cattle here) warm it from below. It's nearly 300 years old.
