Packing Day March 20 2014
The fleeces are all skirted and sorted, so today we packed them up to be sent off and processed into roving. It's a lot of work, but very exciting to know that this year's crop of fleeces will soon be back and ready!

One of our Navajo Churro ewes, Amber, had the most amazing staple - 14" in length or so. That is why it is so important to send our wool to a mill who won't cut the long-stapled wools.
Happy spring, everyone!
