Here is the Rose Brown yarn from our flock crocheted into fabulous fingerless mitts. This yarn is lofty and soft against the skin - everyone in our house is loving how cozy it is!

All three colors of our yarn are available through Kitsap Fresh this week and the market is open! Feel free to DM too!

Last but not least, this is my medium rose-brown yarn. Hoping to swatch it in the next couple of days and share with all but in the meantime, here are the sheep in this color blend. Most of the sheep are moorits, the Shetland name for brown sheep. Since I only have three moorits, I threw in a spotty and a luscious black to add depth of color and to meet the minimum for a yarn run 😊

All my yarns are now LIVE on Kitsap Fresh if you are local and want to have it delivered to your nearest Kitsap Fresh drop! You can also message me for other options.

Introducing the sheep whose wool make up my light silver-grey yarn! This yarn is not photographing well as it has a nice luster and is more grey than oatmeal. Isabella is mom to Estrella and Grace is mom to Dusty. Cosmos has brown markings but his fleece was equal grey and oatmeal, so I put it in with the grey run to see what would happen. I’m super pleased!

Sweet otters are on our pond today! Four cutie pies!

Time to introduce the sheep in last year’s yarn production! First up is the oatmeal color containing fleeces from twins Bergamot and Daisy (note how dark they were when born in 2023), Bluebell with the gorgeous lilac facial markings, and Papa to all three, Oliver. I am excited to have a light-colored yarn that can be over-dyed as well as be used as is. I’m happy with the definition and think this would make excellent cables or other design work.

Finally have new soaps available! This batch offers honey and sheep tallow from our farm, oats from Chimacum Valley Grainery, and an essential oil blend of clary sage, rosemary, lavender, and lemongrass. The bars have a slight pink-tint from the heating of the honey, but the sheep-shaped ones stayed white with oat flecks. These are available through Kitsap Fresh this week, or message us!

If you purchased cherries, blueberries, or peaches from us at the Kingston Public Market this past summer, you enjoyed the literal fruits from the work of Paul Gregory. Paul has experienced a bump in the road and could use some help to get new wheels to continue his work. Every little bit helps and the campaign is so close to being fully funded. We hope you'll keep him in mind as you consider gifts this year!

Many of you may know Paul Gregory from his years at the Bremerton and Poulsbo Far… Kitsap Fresh needs your support for Help Paul Gregory Get Back on the Road

A sweet otter wandered in front of our game camera recently! Love how much wildlife enjoys the property here!
