Oh this Finnsheep from CandLGrey Farm is such a dreamy fawn color. I’ll be sharing a very limited amount of batts of this gorgeous, airy soft fleece soon!

Today, me & my frustration did some scouring. It helped a bit. This is Soley, the white Gotland yearling from High Hill Gotland 🤍 Pure white except for a little light grey on a few of the tips 🤤

3oz. on my Lignum Vitae longwool spindle… the last few grams were a bit of a struggle 😂 Unwinding into a ply ball & on to the next batt. ‘Casita’ & ‘Scarlett’ Romney from Barinaga Ranch & Gotland lamb.

A very special treat from High Hill Gotland… instead of the common Gotland grey, this yearling, Soley, is mostly bright white with such a lustrous sheen 🤍

Gorgeous, my friend! I think you did an amazing job on both! I’d be super happy with the results as well!
I just love the feel of her Romney! I’m so so glad that you also love Marcia’s fleeces 🤍

Beautiful Figured Kansas Black Walnut, made from wood brought to me from Kansas by my Uncle Jim - who happens to be an incredibly talented woodworker 🤍 So much character in this special Walnut.

That one is Gaboon Ebony with a faceted Citrine. It would look stunning in African Blackwood too.

Great way to describe it! And the added benefit of zero calories 😂 Nothing brings me joy more than opening a box, smelling the aroma of raw fleece, & seeing perfect, luminous locks pouring out 🐑
