light among the trees

Being in the woods is always a delight. This particular day there was such wonderful light falling amongst the leaves, the boys seemed to shine.

farm tour

 

Sunday I convinced my boys and man to go on a tour of farms in the northeast corner of VT. They were open to the public to come see the animals and all the fiber they can produce. I loved looking at all the fleece and yarn. The boys had fun meeting animals and carding their own fleece, which they have projects in mind for. We saw alpacas, angora rabbits, and Icelandic sheep. It was neat to see the difference between the fleece and yarn they all produce.

It really made me want to try my hand at spinning. I want to try the whole process of washing, carding and hand spinning. Then of course knitting something with my results.
