Or whitish grey as the case may be…
The shearer sits a sheep on its rump so it is quiet and still. He’s amazingly fast and doesn’t nick the sheep skin a bit. I had no idea how much fleece I would be getting when I asked our neighbor if I could buy one.
You will have so much fun with your fleece! Looks like the kids enjoyed themselves.

That's pretty awesome! I would like to learn to spin and get a spinning wheel. I used a drop spindle to do a bit (I thought I was ambitious and bought a big bag of alpaca fur 10 years ago…didn't do much with it). You could also felt! Make some cute little sheep. I love this apple:

I LOVE your blog! You have a gorgeous family and fun posts and I can't wait to look around more (maybe when my 4 yo is off my lap and I can type w/two hands). Wishing you a blessed and beautiful Easter
