Xeri wasn’t supposed to still be here.

But here we are. Half Romney, half Romeldale/CVM intact yearling ram. Still growing. He’s a long-stapled, woolly beauty.

The only problem is that I breed to Romeldale rams. Only. He’s currently keeping wether Indy—iykyk—company. But boy would he love a little harem of his own!

I’m obsessed. This Romney DK yarn is the best of what “farm yarn” can be.

Come get your squish on this weekend, Aug1-2, at Flock Fiber Festival in Seattle.

Sample swatch knit on US size 5 needles
4x4 in ~22 stitches and 32 rows

Also available online, for domestic shipping within the US. Look for Romney DK “Lady Gray.”

This is your regular reminder that sheep are not dumb.

As prey animals, they are extremely vigilant.

They tend to a t first and ask questions later.

Even a person they know, staring at them from an unusual location, is cause for concern.

As you were, ladies. As you were.

Just in time for Flock Fiber Festival — Romney roving, ready for your spindle or wheel!

We love our Romney long and soft.

But we over-shot the length on our 2025 clip, which made milling all the way to yarn tough.

So we’ve got more beautiful roving than usual, most 6+ inch staple. This is the same stuff that usually goes into our amazingly soft yarn.

The full colorway’s coming to Flock this weekend!

Looking for larger quantities? DM me ahead and I’ll be sure to bring enough for your next project!

💙see you soon, K

Where do we get our funky wool crosses?

From our funky cross-bred sheep, of course. C***r and Vinny are 50% Gotland + 50% Romney. Vinny’s daughter Minnow is 25% Gotland + 75% Romney.

Wool from this cross is STRONG + SMOOTH + SHINY (Gotland) but it’s also GRIPPY + SOFTER (Romney).

I like to say there’s a wool for every purpose and a purpose for every wooL, and I think I’ve cracked the code on this one:

NEEDLEPOINT!

These kits are gorgeous.

The new guy is making quite an impression.

And that’s saying something with so many stud muffins in the barnyard. 😂

The boys (except Banter) are in the squeeze tonight, learning how to get along and not kill each other.

In the next day or so, they should be able to safely move to more spacious quarters.

Where’s Banter, you ask? He’s in the barn, recovering from his big weekend sweet-talking all the BSG visitors who stopped by!
