meet the team...

...of jacob ewes

the girls that give me all

my lovely fleeces to spin with

this is tuppence and she is 10 years old

she is the team leader

this is polly

quite a beauty

and molly

also a knock out

this is ellie

who looks like she needs a haircut

shearing time coming soon

and the lovely clara

cool as a cucumber

so this is just some of the beautiful jacob ewes that i get my fleeces from

all hand washed, hand carded and hand spun

they are all lovingly cared for by hand

a small flock of funny friendly sheep

sunshine means...

...a yarn drying day

hurray for the sun

a great chance to wash hand spun yarn

and get all that sunshine loveliness into it

local jacob and beulah speckled face fleeces

make lovely yarn

and this lovely lot when dry

is ready to crochet into

 winter neck warmers and cosy cushions

and the chickens went on their merry way

happy to be out in the sun too

happy sunshine weekend folks
