Checked fleeces today. Shearing season will be her before I know it. I have few fleeces I think will show well this year. 🙂 Fleece quality is in large part a reflection of animal health, and I am glad to see the flock is handling the winter well.

Strong winds blew down innumerable limbs and branches this weekend. Collecting a bit of lichen to try my hand at dying with it. We try to make good use of the natural resources we steward. Foraging and collecting from the farm plays a large role in that effort, but we are careful to take just what is needed and leave the rest to play its role in the habitat we share.

Spending time in the woods, helping Ben with the maple lines. He is hoping to tap next week; fingers crossed the weather cooperates.
Growing up, the woods were always my place of refuge, the simple beauty of rocks and moss a providing needed peace and calm.
Over the years, I have found myself continuing to find solace in forests around the country. I still find that same peace and calm, and am grateful for such a deep and abiding connection to nature.

Hollis-- I know when he's listening because he pins his ears back when I talk to him. It was good to see the boys this morning, their expressions familiar and comforting.
The holiday break provided a needed respite. Spending time with family is always rejuvenating. Now that I'm back on the farm, I am preparing for shearing, lambing, and planting-- all of which will begin before I know it.
Chores completed, I updated the Etsy shop with more roving from this year's clip and the last of the yarn. As the flock grows, so too will my inventory. I am looking forward to offering fingering weight and Lopi yarn in the future. More yarn to play with is always a great thing.

Excited to share a bit of my life as a shepherd with the readers of Vogue Knitting in the Winter 2019/2020 issue.
Happy to share the issue with family during this holiday season, I appreciate their unwavering support and am happy to carry on the family farming tradition.
2019 was a year of growth and transition and I look forward to experiencing what 2020 has in store!
Thank you for supporting Tarheelbilly Farm!
