Spinning Project for the Fair

I entered several skeins at Ozark Empire Fair this year. It's my first year taking anything to a fair since I was a child, in 4-H. All of the skeins received 1st place and one was given a Champion. I was surprised!

Summer is flying by here on the farm. The adult ewes were loaded up and spent several days on a neighbors farm. They grazed around the outbuildings, cleaning up the grass. I saved a little fleece from one of the ewes that were recently shorn. She was out of Salem and Crescendo. It is the most amazing fleece I have felt as to date. An intermediate fleece that is buttery soft. I've carded some and will spin a sample. I didn't save the entire fleece. There was too much new growth.
I have made some changes to the blog. It's primary purpose will be to list sheep for sale, or other sheep/fiber related things. With everything going on, I just don't have the time to "blog" and when I do post, I don't get back on until the next post( long stretch in between) to make "comments" a worthwhile feature.
