This is Olive, helping me showcase a hat I bought in 1996 at a craft show. I didn't knit, spin, or have sheep/goats. I came home with 2 handmade hats that day, celebrating our return to New England after graduate school. I did not know it was the start...

Our baby goats are growing fast! Some are heading out to their new homes next week, so today will be spent getting them all ready! We still have some available, if you want some adorable goats in your life!

Overdyed our grey cormo/fine mohair DK. It was my first round overdyeing this yarn, and I am loving the results! Leaf green and pansy are two of my favorite colors.

A nice start to the day with triplet doe kids from CWF Gina and HGF Ishmael. Isn't the pinto a fancy little thing?!?!? 😍

Here's a little more happiness for your day. CWF Lily Garland had twin doe kids today, one white and one grey badger! Sire is our grand champion PCF BJ. Mama and babies are doing great. ❤️

Wool keeps you warm...

(Yes, they could go under shelter, but with 4 to 6 inches of wool, why bother???)

Experimenting some more with dyes today. It sometimes brings delightful surprizes! This is a Maine raised merino/ramboullet wool and kid mohair blend, that we made right here in our mill.

Just picked up a new addition for the fiber studio! (I guess I need to start weaving again...) Big thanks to our friend B.A. for letting this girl come and live at our fiber farm. 🥰

Twin boys last night for CWF Gina and HGF Ishmael! Pretty flashy leg markings on the one buckling! Gina is an excellent mother, just like her own dam. I love this doe line.

0300 barn check, under a moon so bright I didn't need my headlamp, found twins for CWF Isla. I got them tucked into a mama motel, and all are doing well. It's always nice to find clean, dry, healthy kids with a doting mother!

0430 and all is well! This week kicked off kidding season and frequent barn checks. So far, we has a beautiful black doe kid from CWF Lizzo, and a sweet pair of twins from CWF Isadora (aka Dory.) All sired by HGF Ishmael. ❤️

CWF Lucy had twin bucklings this evening, one blue and one white. Sire is HGF Ishmael. Just like her mother, LuHoo, Lucy is doing an amazing job with her first kids. I love this doe. ❤️

Spring has (finally!) arrived on the farm, and I am loving chores without a coat, warm sunshine, daffodils blooming in a sheltered nook near the mill, beautiful wool from a mill customer, my fabulous terriers, and this super special baby goat, Olive.

It's been a busy few days at the farm, with lots of new babies arriving. There is nothing cuter than a baby goat.

Well, this sunny Maine morning the barn temperature was in the double digits *above* zero!!! It felt balmy!

It's nice to see so many fierce fiber artists and farmers here. I love my flock.

We are enjoying a beautiful, sunny, warm Saturday in Maine! The chickens are enjoying being out and about, and we are getting kidding pens ready in the doe barn. Happy Spring!!!

We had a great first day at the Maine Fiber Frolic, despite the cold rain. It was great to see everyone, and we are looking great forward to better weather tomorrow! 😁 (Neva and Nutmeg are tired!)

I'm back to working on my vest with our cormo/kid mohair sport. Zoey will be contributing white hairs here and there, because knitting with a cup of coffee and a terrier in your lap is the perfect start to the day!
