Oh this Finnsheep from CandLGrey Farm is such a dreamy fawn color. I’ll be sharing a very limited amount of batts of this gorgeous, airy soft fleece soon!

Today, me & my frustration did some scouring. It helped a bit. This is Soley, the white Gotland yearling from High Hill Gotland 🤍 Pure white except for a little light grey on a few of the tips 🤤

3oz. on my Lignum Vitae longwool spindle… the last few grams were a bit of a struggle 😂 Unwinding into a ply ball & on to the next batt. ‘Casita’ & ‘Scarlett’ Romney from Barinaga Ranch & Gotland lamb.

A very special treat from High Hill Gotland… instead of the common Gotland grey, this yearling, Soley, is mostly bright white with such a lustrous sheen 🤍

Beautiful Figured Kansas Black Walnut, made from wood brought to me from Kansas by my Uncle Jim - who happens to be an incredibly talented woodworker 🤍 So much character in this special Walnut.

I’m in awe of this 7 lb lustrous Romney from Barinaga Ranch. Finally getting around to scouring it today - I keep getting distracted & stopping to drool over the locks 🤤

I combed & carded 2 of my scoured Romney fleeces (from Barinaga Ranch)- ‘Scarlett’ & ‘Casita’ - & blended both with super soft Gotland lamb. Then did a gradient of them together. 5oz for me 🤤

5oz skein of hand-processed, warm grey ‘Casita’ Romney (Barinaga Ranch), spun on my 65g Lignum Vitae longwool spindle. So much luster & surprisingly super soft hand.

Between scouring fleeces yesterday, my husband talked me into painting again. I used to illustrate children’s books - there are some floating around in bookstores & Amazon. It’s definitely been a while & I’ve missed it.
