Maryland Sheep and Wool was a success!!! I ended up with 3 fleeces, a ton of other fiber, new shuttles and we had such a fun time, despite the cold and rainy weather!

Plus people were Absolutely Beside Themselves at the sheer fact my service dog was wearing boots. Her paws would have been a disaster otherwise!!!

Because so many folks asked, here’s the Sunday sweater worn to @mdsheepwoolfest This one is also pretty sentimental to me! The yarn is from the first run of my Alchemy yarn base. The fiber is wool, my kid mohair, alpaca and silk. This is in the natural fiber color. It was milled @gurdy.run.woolen.mill The sweater pattern is an #alicestarmore from her book on Aran Knitting. And this one is the #irishmoss pattern. My BFF Kathleen @craicpotwoolwork did the incredible knitting. The nice thing is that it was knit to fit my husband, and it looks great on him —but, from time to time, we all sneak it out of his closet! #avalonspringsfarm #sweater #naturalsweater #mdsw2022 #mdsheepandwool #cableknit #cozysweater #sweaterknitting #naturalyarn #localyarn #handmade #handknit (at Avalon Springs Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdyo4gBJN3J/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sooo many new roving colors! Debuting @mdsheepwoolfest Our roving is made from many fleeces from our farm and those of a few neighboring farms. Local fiber. It’s all graded, skirted, washed and dyed by Karen. And then carded/milled by @gurdy.run.woolen.mill Local Labor. Crafted for you from our critters, by hand, with creativity and skill, one small batch at a time. Enjoy! #avalonspringsfarm #roving #wool #mohair #alpaca #angoragoats #smallflock #handspinning #handspunyarn #handmade #oneofakind #mdsheepandwool #mdsw2022 (at Howard County Fair) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdOpFQ4J2fU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
