This year we have had the strangest weather from rain in July, real summer weather ,and this morning it feels a little like October. The Oregon State fair is just around the corner which means more fitting but also just around the corner is breeding season. In preparation we had our Dorset's and Cross breeds shorn and our Romney's Tagged ( bottoms, heads, and bellies shorn). Tagging helps the ewes keep cooler while still producing gorgeous fleeces tagging also makes the fitting job a little smoother.
Also I didn't manage to put an update up on county fair but we had a good time and did well.
Also this morning we just picked up three boxes of yarn from the spinnery. We have White Romney lamb yarn which we will dye a variety of colors, a gray Romney yarn which will be over dyed, and a gorgeous natural colored Romney yarn mixed with brown lama. The Brown yarn is personally my favorite it is very soft and could easily be worn against the skin without much irritation I personally want to make a sweater out of it. It will be posted soon along with the other colors as they are dyed so got check out our Etsy shop :
