#fiberfarm

Start to finish, yarn made into a hat from the alpaca here on the farm!

Lots of new roving colors! It’s Tour de Fleece! Our roving is made from our own farm fiber and a few neighboring fleeces. Local sheep, goat, alpaca! Karen does all the grading, skirting, picking, washing, and dying. And it’s cottage milled inside the fiber shed. Local labor and craftsmanship! Offering: dyed and natural fiber colors, with and without sparkles, specialty fiber blends and a large array of colors. Come see and experience the spin! #avalonspringsfarm #roving #fiber #fiberfarm #farmfiber #fleece #wool #mohair #alpaca #angoragoats #coloredangoragoats #handmade #handspun #handspunyarn #handspinning #handspinner #tourdefleece2022 #tourdefleece (at Avalon Springs Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfpBRs0J3Rh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s Tour de Fleece 2022! I will host a very casual team from my Facebook group page. We will: • celebrate what your creating! • chat about helpful things to know as hand spinners • show you all my new roving • of course a few sales & coupons • and an in-person event for local folks. For example, I would love to tell you about the photo in the background which is made by Judy Higgs out of several recent batches of our roving. #avalonspringsfarm #fiberfarm #roving #tourdefleece2022 #handspun #handspunyarn #yarn #yarnlove #handmadeyarn #color #localfiber #fleece #greenandblue #futureyarn #futuresweater #knit #tourdefleece #handspinning (at Avalon Springs Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfgsi7IL8QC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Celebrating #summersolstice with a barnyard poop-check, shots and bit of regular maintenance. It’s real life on a yarn farm. This picture L to R is: Patrick the sheep in back, Milly a #coloredangoragoat and her sister Tilly in the glam profile. #avalonspringsfarm #fiberfarm #farmlife #yarnfarm #ilovemygoats #ilovemysheep #takingcare #futureyarn #angoragoats #finnsheep #farmtoneedles #fibershed #naturalfiberyarn #knitlocal (at Avalon Springs Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfHTtuFrtp0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

At Withers Wool, come experience the glorious views, a working fiber farm, a great red barn full of yarn & roving & wearables! #marylandfiberartist #fiberartstudio #fiberartstudiotour #witherswool #fiberfarm #marylandfiberfarm #yarn #indiedyer #indiedyedyarn #roving #handspunyarn #handspunhandknit (at Withers Wool) https://www.instagram.com/p/CedmpsXrBKj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We just harvested a bunch of new fleece. @sheargrazing came and sheared our whole herd! No doubt, it’s some sweat and work! Everyone looks terrific! And all the new bags of fiber completely inspire me to make something fun. #avalonspringsfarm #sheargrazing #fiberfarm #sheep #goats #angoragoats #coloredangoragoats #futureyarn (at Avalon Springs Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd0xEV2r7Ns/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
