Meet Itty Bitty, a sheep from A Wrinkle in Thyme Farm in Sumner, ME. |
We are picking hay out of her fleece before she is shorn. |
Her washed, beautifully naturally colored fleece. |
I'm combing it to make the fiber strands easier to spin. |
Fluffy fleece, ready for spinning. |

2-ply, after wound into a hank and washed. |
Wound into a ball for easy knitting. |
This is the start of a sweater. |
Such pretty colors! I'm out of yarn… time to spin some more! |
