Charming

Charming all covered in hay, I don't use my buck fleeces anyway, so it doesn't matter that he makes a pig of himself in the hay.Charming is smaller than most of my yearling bucks but he makes up for it in charm, and he is a sweeheart.Yesterday's weather was a mix, started with heavy rain, then sunny and warm, then a black cloud and wind cooled things down in a hurry. Spent all afternoon carding roving for Heather.Heather emailed that she is teaching a spinning class in Colorado and needed Cotswold rovings in various colors. Luckily, I have been dyeing lots of Cotswold wool on the wood heater during all the cold weather.I have  one in a brownish with purple,peach and gold. Navy with pink and turqouise. Hot pink,yellow and turqouise.Peach,turqouise and a touch of yellow, that is my new favorite.Cotswold is a Big friendly sheep with curls from head to toe, they do well in the southeast with all our parasite and humidity problems.To soften the wool I crossbreed them with Corriedale,Cormo or BFL, for some of the most beautiful sheep you have ever seen.
