Baa Baa Black Sheep...

Have you any wool?  Yes sir, yes sir...

Three





Bags





Full!



Yep, it is sheep shearing time in The Hollow.  I am now in possession of three large garbage bags that each contain a warm woolly fleece.  My research into the new adventure of processing wool is still in progress.  I am in no hurry, since the fleeces need to be cleaned and that will be an outdoor activity.  So... these bags will be stored until Springtime makes its way to Illinois! :)

Hello Patty... My son has requested that some be spun to make yarn for a hat. I am soo excited to work with the wool. I have observed the process of carding and spinning and would love to give it a whirl! :)
