Rewards

Rewards of all the hard work that went into growing this hoggett(yearling fleece), began in the fall of 08 when I bred her mother to the Cormo ram. After 5 months of gestation, these sweet lambs were born in anticipation of a different and softer wool to spin.They were shorn at 3 months of age to remove the tippy lamb fleece and to keep them cool during the heat of the summer.Now 8 months later another long,soft and crimpy fleece was shorn.Delightful.I will be like a child on the night before Christmas, very hard to sleep until I have time to wash,dry,pick,card and spin yarn from this wool.
