June happenings

 We have had a flurry of activity these past thirty day.

Our social calendars have opened up, allowing us to freely interact with fellow spinners and fiber enthusiasts.

The Great Lakes Fiber Show took place the end of May and we had a great time.

There was much positive energy from all that attended and a great need to people to interact and make those special fleece purchases.  We sold out of all the fleeces that we took to the event and my shelves look a little bare here at home, aside from some lovely combed top that is still available.

Another sixteen pounds or so was sent out to Zeilingers for processing into combed top, we should have this back in a few months.

Below, our Guild's June Dye Day, anyone who wanted had the opportunity to try their hand at dyeing wool, using various techniques.

I must say I do enjoy skillet dying, three of the pieces of combed top were dyed in the skillets, nice variation of colors and no two are alike.

We've wean all our lambs and our little boys are ready to go to new homes.  This is just a pre-view of some of the young ram lambs that are available.  I hope to have time this weekend and start posting them on the NASSA site and here with more details.

                      Above and below, twin rams.  Above is polled with 

two spots of color on his body.  Below: polled white ram lamb.

Both are very nice.

Above scurred ram lamb, black and white fleece.

Below: moorit, with nice wide horns.

Below, some of the other ram lambs that will be available.

Hope to start getting more information out about these nice ram lambs.  Now is the time to start planning for your fall breeding.

Lastly, a photo of Buddy L.  He is doing great and has been upgraded.  He has been allowed in the house!  He cannot hear, but we understand each other and communicate very well.
