Fall Shearing
This past Thursday was shearing day at Riyescott Ranch. It went quickly without much fuss or bother. All 24 were sheared in about 2 hours. The fleeces are bagged, labeled and ready for washing. Thanks to Linda for the gift of one bag of wool. As soon as I get my Drum Carder I will start processing it.
Before
The girls waiting patiently for shearing were very well behaved.
During
The shearer was fast without too many second cuts. I don’t understand how they can bend over so much. My back hurt just watching.
After
The pile of wool ready for the washer. Makes you want to sink your hands in it doesn’t it?
Rainy Day Yarn Club Update….
I’ve exended the final sign up date to September 15th. That will get me past the start of school, deer hunting season and vacations.
Go here to get the particulars.
