We went to Maple View Farm in Brandon, Vt. this afternoon to pick up the wool we sent there last year – it takes a long time to get wool treated. Maria was very happy with it, some beautiful new shades, some soft and inviting skeins. Each time we go, Maria and Deb talk over the wool, how it looked, how it was cleaned and spun. Maria will put the yarn up for sale on her website later this evening or tomorrow. This is a ritual we love.

As usual, Red comes along.
