Fiber Fiber Everywhere!!
So I set a goal on Feb 1st, that my fiber storage area would be completely cleaned out and empty by shearing day in May. My new assistant, Maria, and I have been furiously working on skirting, grading and deciding what I will be doing with the fiber (yarn, sock yarn, rug yarn, felted sheets, rugs etc). Since I set that goal, we have managed to get through 200 pounds of fiber!!! No small task considering there was 2 snow storms, a lost weekend to absolute freezing temps and Maria only works PT on the weekends!
The best part is that I already shipped all this out and we have already skirted through about 40 more pounds to be going out next week !!
We do a huge yarn business both with commercial yarn and our farm yarns, so I am excited that we have this much out for processing because I am booking events like mad and am hoping that we get into the Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool Festival in October. We have a hard time keeping our farm yarn in stock as it is a local favorite!!
Shearing is May 21, and with approx 800 more pounds to go - I think we can do it !!!

Knitting Blog
Hi all - I thought I would separate my "Yarn" blogging from my "Farm" blogging because some people are interest in one and not the other. This blog will be dedicated to projects, yarn specials, store promotions, patterns etc. Please feel free to follow along as I will be putting up free patters and in a few weeks even a giveaway promotion !!
See you all soon.
