Last Fall, we added a new ritual to the farm, Skirting Wool, wherein dirty and oily sheepskin is picked clean for hurts, blade of hay by blade of grass. Sheep are neither neat nor clean, but it is a soothing kind of chore, painstaking and satisfying. Maria did most of it, it is a beautiful and ancient ritual in many ways. Maria is selling her fleece to people for yarn, details on her website.
