Dill
CVM wool/alpaca blend in 3-ply worsted wt.
hand dyed on the farm in a warm mossy green.
this yarn gets nicer the more you work with it,
as the alpaca starts to bloom just a little, a sutle halo developes.
wonderfully soft and warm this yarn will give an extra demention to your garments.

breeding season
it’s breeding season
time for the rams to go to work
and time to speculate about next spring’s lambs
what colors, how many, will the new rams prove to be a good as i had hoped?
how many long nights, cold nights, snowy nights…
now speculation has turned to worry but what makes it all worthwhile is the lambing barn.
it’s warm and noisy and funny and a litte magical

jonalyn’s scarf
i have the best farm sitter ever!
in june - just after school let’s out (in real life she’s a kindergarten teacher) jonalyn races from the the city to the country so she can spend a week doing farm chores.
scooping poop, filling water tanks and overseeing a 100 head of livestock…
she thinks she’s at a bed and breakfast…
how to repay her???
maybe with a little cvm wool from Lily, a little angora from Whiskers and a dollop of alpaca
hand spun into 2-ply fingering
and knit into a lacey, soft and warm scarf with just the perfect amount halo.
