Izzy’s Wool

Jay gave me Izzy’s fleece when he brought her back after having her shorn.  Turns out much of it is in good shape.  Jon and I skirted it yesterday.  We had to throw a lot out, some of it was matted or just too hard to pick the brambles out of.  But we got about seven pounds of good wool.

I’m getting in touch with Deb at the  Vermont Fiber Mill today to see if I can ship it to her and have it processed with the other wool we dropped off last weekend.  If so, I may decide to mix it with Socks’ wool as my friend Suzy suggested.  Then I’ll have a new  kind of yarn to sell in the fall.

Yesterday we cut a broken branch off the apple tree and gave it to the animals to munch on. The sheep especially liked it. That's Izzy to the right getting her fill.
