Trying to teach lambs to take a bottle can be whack.

We shear our Icelandics twice a year. The lustrous fall clip (the name for all the raw wool in one shearing) goes to hand spinners or to a small fiber mill to make yarn. Some of this year’s yarn also got made into ART by which you can see ❤️

The spring clip, which is much less clean and can also be felted by the time it comes off after the long winter, gets used for mulch or composted. (BTW sheep are not hurt and benefit from being shorn. Wool is a renewable resource!)

Our new yarn will be here soon from and we will share deets so stay tuned!

The sheep mamas have been busy birthing and caring for their lambs. We have two singles, five sets of twins and two sets of triplets so far. Black, brown, white and mixed - all so beautiful. Not half way yet. We have many more to come. Helen will have an open house to see and hold and learn about the lambs on April 25, 9-12.
