Liam and his mother Suzy were resting together in the pole barn. They don’t spend as much time together as they used to. Suzy usually hangs around with the other older ewes like Socks and Biddy.
In two weeks I’ll bring the sheep’s wool to the Vermont Fiber Mill. I haven’t even thought of what I’ll do with it all yet. I’ll look at my notes from the last shearing to remind me of what I had last fall and how quickly it sold.
I have a lot of wool from the twins, Asher and Issachar so I’ll probably use some of that for roving and dryer balls. Maybe I’ll barber pole some of it with Kim’s wool too.
I’ll be dying some of the white and some of the grays. The only sheep I don’t have wool from is Robin. His was so slow to grow back. But it’s coming in nice now so I’ll have some for next spring.
Such a sweet portrait. 🙂
