Announcing: Fiber Flock Scarf kit. Fiber was grown on my farm and a few neighboring farms, sorted, skirted, washed here, turned into top @zeilingerwool and turned into yarn @gurdy.run.woolen.mill then wound into matching sets here and I made the pattern with @craicpotwoolwork to finally produce this cool kit that celebrates all the fiber critters on my farm. If one starts the production clock at shearing junction, that whole process took 2 and a half years!!! I’m mighty proud of this final product debut. The Fiber Flock Scarf kit will be available for this weekend’s @fiberartstudiotour and then at @mdsheepwoolfest #avalonspringsfarm #fiberflockscarf #fiberflock #fiberflockyarn #fiberfarm #fiberfarmer #mohair #coloredangoragoats #wool #merinowool #alpaca #alpacafleece #naturalcoloredyarn #farmtoneedle #growninmaryland #maryland #madebyhand #newyarn #newpattern #newknitkit #naturalyarn #fairisleknitting #scarfknitting #warmscarf (at Avalon Springs Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcSwT1srSHA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I just realized that my thank you part for my @fibreshare package was never posted! Sorry @therealpurlscout! It was the IG blackout. Anyway, it was sheer perfection! She had me tear up with the first thing I opened. She thought of my kids with the seed bomb (swipe to see how adorable he is! ), and now clara asks every day to go plant flowers. And I love that the project bag from. @blue_q is 95% recycled. Everything was truly magnificent! I already am thinking of ideas of what to make with all the goodies! #fiberflock #fibreflock #fiberfriendsarethebestfriends #fibrefriendsarethebestfriends https://www.instagram.com/p/BvMlWHllAcB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1g0dsnj34d4c9

New pic today of Moonpie & Cooper. Love these two! #fiberflock #icelandicsheep #finncormobfl #bottlebabies

Update on Cooper (orphan Icelandic baby) & Moonpie (his buddy). They are now 7 weeks old. We have gone from Cooper being coaxed to drink from the bottle to (about 5 weeks later) being a huge piggy and finishing his own bottle, then trying to steal the rest of Moonpie’s! Love both of them to bits! #icelandicsheep #fiberflock #bottlebabies #sheepofinstagram

Weighed these two this morning, to make sure I’m feeding enough. Cooper is almost 12 lbs, and Moonpie is just over 16 lbs. Both are now doing great on the bottle! #bottlebabies #sheepofinstagram #icelandicsheep #fiberflock

Telula & Daisy May, my two 8 yr old Jacob ewes. The last couple of times I have gone in to feed the babies, Daisy May comes in, sniffs the babies, sniffs me and the bottle I'm holding for Cooper, and watches me feed him! Not threatening or crowding my space, just curious... She's so sweet! Telula stands outside and watches - much more standoffish. They are both nice to the babies, though. (Not like goats - goats are mean to newcomers!) #fiberflock #sheepofinstagram #jacobsheep

Had to go to Maine today to get a companion for Cooper. This is Moonpie, a Finn/Cormo/BFL cross. Bonus points if you know the connection between the two names! #fiberflock #bumlambs #bottlebabies
