Shearing Day

This last Saturday was shearing day at Shady Side Farm.
They sheared the poly pay to get ready for lambing.
The guy who was shearing was way too fast for me to get a good photo.

The Suffolk sheep had already been sheared in December


and had little lambs hopping all over




Fuzzy I know...you try keeping two lambs still.



Lorrie got to hold a lamb


and here is what happened not 15 minutes later


I went to demo spinning in the shop.

Big balls of wool!



Rita from Yarn Hollow and Beth from the Spinning Loft were there.



I spun on Lona's Ashford Country Spinner. Love it!!
Look at the size of that bobbin!



Deborah tried it out too!


After the day of letting everyone who wanted to help me spin (such joy getting people into new hobbies!!) I have 150 yards of super bulky polypay yarn.



There was a lady showing needle felting



I loved this purse!




And sock machine knitting

Chris was spinning on her Victoria

Lorrie was spinning on her Journey Wheel

There were cows outside

They came up and posed.

Good Cows!!

We went to New Holland Brewery for lunch after

The Rubens are so good!!

Thank you to Mike and Lona of Shady Side Farm for allowing me to participate.

I can't wait for next year!!
