Spring chores: shearing, done

According to the calendar spring is here.... Hmmm...ok the weather is not really participating but, there it is. Welcome to livin in the PNW.

Shearing went really well for us last weekend. Thank you to Lora, Sharon and of course our shearer Jenny thanks girls for the laughs and good time!!! Ready to do that again come Fall?

Now the decision of what to do with the wool.... Roving or yarn... If yarn, what weight....oh all the decisions & dont forget to add, do I want to have some of the white fiber dyed. Ok it's not really that stressful, more fun for me really. I've picked put a couple of sweater patterns I like.....oh, I should probably think about selling some of my yarn too. I've been ruminating over some yarn blends that will be putting together. What do you think of Shetland, silk & bunny
Shetland, BFL & Alpaca
Shetland, Silk and Merino
Can't wait to see how those turn out
