A Reflection on the Autumnal Equinox

May we let what’s loosening loosen.
May we tune to nature’s flow,
carry what we need
and leave the rest to go.

May we allow the frost to cover
flowers once held dear
and circle up together
as the dark grows near.

May we hold the sun, a memory,
deep within our bones
and trust all that spirals in
towards the great unknown.

Season’s shifts are gifts,
fall is a refrain that prepares
those who hold too tightly
for all that disappears.

Wool – A fibre that’s seen it all.

It’s been around for thousands of years, yet it doesn’t hang around, biodegrading in a matter of months and returning valuable nutrients to the soil.

Sheep are hardy animals that support families and communities around the world, including in regions where crops are difficult to grow. They can withstand conditions ranging from drought to storms and still produce their remarkable fleece.

Wool has clothed generations, covered our floors and filled our beds. It’s kept adventurers warm in some of the world’s most extreme conditions and helped keep everyday life comfortable through changing seasons.

It’s been spun, woven, knitted, felted, tailored and engineered. From farmers’ fields to fashion runways, and through animal husbandry that helps produce high-quality fibre, wool has continually adapted to the world around it.

Naturally breathable. Renewable. Durable. Temperature-regulating. Odour-resistant. And at the end of its useful life, biodegradable.

Few fibres can claim a history quite like wool.

And after thousands of years, we’re still discovering what it can do.

Latest project. I had fun playing around with different orientation of the colors. Same yarn, totally different look!

Welcome to another round of meet the sheep!

This is Chevelle!

She is a sensitive soul. When the flock is on the move she always circles back to be sure no one is forgotten. She is also the first to notice things like if I moved the fence or the deer are walking in the woods behind the barn.

So awesome!

That little house on iron wheels once had a much harder job than weekend accommodation.

During lambing season, shepherds sometimes needed to stay close to the flock through cold nights instead of walking back to the farmhouse. A small hut could be towed out to the sheep and used as temporary living quarters.

Surviving examples included a bed, a small cooking stove, storage for equipment and sturdy wheels for moving across farmland.

A Buckinghamshire example dating to around 1915 was specifically used as living quarters during winter and early-spring lambing.

What now looks like a quaint tiny cabin was originally a practical piece of mobile farm infrastructure.
