The farmer while helping to put fleece in bags: I’m afraid there’s quite some straws in it.
Me: No problem, that’s entirely normal.
Me while washing the fleece: 😱

I just love knitting with homespun. Even when thoroughly washed it just feels alive, unlike yarn from the shop.
This one documents my efforts to improve in English long draw over the past months. Starting at the bottom with the first and more inconsistent skeins, working up to some yoke colourwork with that gradual change in skill. Not sure if it's actually visible, but I certainly feel more confident!

Shepherd's Harvest Sheep and Wool Festival is this weekend! I only just learned! It was my first ever fiber festival a year ago.

It's in Lake Elmo, MN. Any chance any of you are going to be there? I'll probably show up one of the days.

For #WIPWednesday I have an improvised setup that allows me to carefully wind a single from a supported spindle onto a bobbin of my small wheel using the big wheel. I can rotate the large drive wheel with my left hand while holding the spindle in my right hand. And by now I have a second single made with the wheel. It's so much faster than my clumsy spindle spinning.
