That is because it is May.

Much of the shop was sent off to be at Maryland Sheep and Wool this weekend! It will be with the Tsocktsarina and others in booth N5. I do not know where that is. Someday I shall be able to be at MDSW myself!

Instead I will be here, dyeing madly for the shop and for New Hampshire Sheep and Wool, which comes next weekend. And Massachusetts Sheep and Wool, which comes shortly after.

In the meantime, I might even manage some stuff for the shop again! Weeee!

Gobo says, “MAAAY!”

That’s all for now!

California Red: This breed arose in the U.S. from crossing Tunis and Barbados sheep. The Tunis parentage donates a lovely soft spring to the fleece. Lambs are born a rusty cinnamon then fade to a more standard color as they age, though their head maintains the coloration. Some of the hairs also retain the color, making an interesting heathered appearance to the fiber. Medium fineness but with an overall silky feel.

Doggy frisbee

That’s all for now!
