Autumn Yarns



Well ... I went a little nuts this past weekend, dyeing my new batch of yarn. I was the Mistress of Mixers, blending greens, yellows, reds and oranges. No rhyme of reason, just play. I LOVE the end results...what do you think?

Uma


Last week I clipped Uma, my Angora goat ( with help from my good friend Deb....thanks Deb! )

By cutting back on her grain intake, I found her clip to be much cleaner, softer and no matts.


I carefully clipped as many ringlets as I could from around her ears, and her "pantaloons" for Rug Hooker Susie Stephenson who will be using them on her latest design. Susie displays her work at the Stable Gallery in Damariscotta. Uma's curls will be used for mermaid hair in her beautiful new rug!

Marigold & Pippin



Marigold is soooooooooo darn cute! I have to keep sharing her! Ohhhhh and Pippin ...... how can you resist!!??!!! So I know, I know, you all have seen the before, but I just have to share them as they grow.
