Nice wool

We finally got some sunshine around here, so we’re spreading out the fleeces a few at a time to dry them, before “skirting” or picking off the dirty bits around the edges. The quality of the wool is very good, confirming our decision to shear the sheep twice a year instead of once; we’re getting cleaner wool, although not quite as long staple. We’ll be picking out some color combinations to send to a spinning mill nearby; they made some lovely soft two-ply yarn for us last year.
In the meantime, the lambs are gaining quickly, and we are pleased to note that they are getting a little too large to squeeze through holes in our fences. We are having less of the problem of lambs which got out, then found that Mom was still inside, and they can’t remember how they got out so they panic and so does Mom. This is wearing on the patience of the shepherds, but it is self-correcting as the lambs gain size quickly on our good grass. Life goes on..
