Fiber Arts Friday: Maplecroft Corriedale

Last September I visited a friend of my parents.  I didn't get the post out but I enjoyed meeting this local fiber artist/sheep rancher/gardener.

She showed us around her place and introduced us to some of her ladies.

We bought a lamb from her earlier this year for our freezer (it's delicious) and last September I bought two samples of the lovely roving that her sheep had previously donated.  :-)

4oz Corriedale Top

4oz of Lincoln Longwool

I've (finally) started spinning the Corriedale.  This fiber is quite sproingy... especially after spinning alpaca.

In other news: a reporter from The Greeley Tribune came out while we were shearing alpacas and llamas last weekend and put a few photos in Tuesday's issue.  :-)

Have a great Fiber Arts Friday.
