If you’re UK based and love knitting/yarn/rare heritage breeds, there’s a London City Farms Kickstarter out there right run by a sustainable textiles creator now that have pooled together something like 16 rare breeds across the city farms and turned it into a machine and hand knitting yarn. Most of these fleeces were going to waste because, as we all know, fleeces are priced so lowly that it’s usually not worth the cost of the cleaning, processing and industrial spinning. You can buy a skein, cone, or an item made solely from the natural colours that the blended sheep breeds produce.

aides-de-camp, dog version

Someone requested Laurens with a dog(s), which I've actually been wanting to do for a very long time (even before you asked me - it's on my to-do list!), but I ended up turning the aides into dogs instead lmao - compare them to their human versions :)

Dilf Professor Zhongli making you ride him on his chair during one of his breaks when Dilf Professor Neuvillette caught the both of you only to join in kissing you sloppily devouring your moans whilst rubbing his cock through his pants

Both Dilf Professor Zhongli and Neuvillette will create excuses to either make you stay back or excuse you from classes just because they want to breed you

Hello FR Community. I am breeding two of my funniest Gen1s. So that you can obtain a

White Baby.

They will all be technically Gen2s with Water Eyes of various assortments. Please DM me on Flight Rising if you are interested in obtaining a White Baby.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I don't think non-herding breeds should be allowed to take herding tests.

Quite a busy road today… but of course one should always pull over to let pregnant ladies pass 😀

White sky weather, typical of the brisk SE wind; nasty cross winds in places, gusts around 25mph, but the effect considerably magnified when cycling downhill (the disadvantages of a lightweight road bike…).

That one time travel verse where Iruka silently leave all the overpowered ninja to their own, and live on a homestead instead.

Gulf Coast Native

Sounds like a Calypso band from the Caribbean but it's a sheep breed habituated to the USA'a southeastern quarter.

Stock that originated in the Old World went feral & genetically sorted themselves out as a landrace breed in the New World. After countless of generations they are considered feral. That's right - wild. They went native.

There are feral breeds around the world & all of them have "adaptability" on their resumé.

Gulf Coast Native sheep's cover letter is all about adapting. This is a multi-purpose breed: wool, meat, milk, and land stewards (kudzu & invasive weed foragers). Adept at surviving, they are now endangered.

The wool has a lot of variation but is often within the range of 'touch skin' soft. The fleeces are small, without a ton of suint or lanolin. The moderate crimp means a wool that spins more like UK's Ryeland - giving a crisp worsted finish no matter how it's spun. Most fleeces contain a bit-o-hair that can be either removed or used for stricture. GCN can make a nice warping yarn for weaving.

Color is cream & (occasionally) into dark brown range. If you can find a fleece on line - it's worth the purchase. This is a relatively easy fleece to wash & resists felting. You can also find batts from SE woolen mills.

There's a push of information right now about this breed because there are less than 250 registered with the LC. And, let's face, we wool freaks have a big a fuzzy place in our hearts for a wild breed story.

Spinners who can get their hands on GCN tend to rave about it. It's lovely to spin & not fussy in processing unlike some other 'fine' wools (I'm looking at you - Cormo). And SPINNING this wool is an act of salvation for the breed. The more folks ask for it, the more farmers choose it as a livestock for their agricultural economic plan.

Find it. Try it.
