My sheep are foldy, if you know what I mean. They have lots of skin rolling back on itself. If your shearer isn’t skilled, the animals will come out all nicked up, polka dotted with blood. Luckily, this rarely happens. He’s also great at keeping second cuts to a minimum. They are bits of fleece that are too short to include in the spinning process. We definitely don’t want them.

THE YARN SHACK
THE YARN SHACK is a child of Covid. It is a humble self service tool shed by the side of the road featuring my hand dyed yarns, artwork, mugs, tee shirts, buttons, and tools. It changes all the time. It is on the road next to the barn. It is open 24/7. It accepts Venmo, checks, and cash if you must. It's been up and running since December 2021 and my faith in people continues to abound. Come visit!
just in case you were wondering
