We finished skirting the wool Sunday afternoon, we got eleven bags, some beautiful wool which we will take this weekend to Vermont and leave at the mill there. It will come back to Maria as yarn and roving. We let the wool grow longer this year before shearing, and as the sheep mature, so does their wool. Some rich colors.

We picked dirt and grime and feces off of the wool and put it into marked plastic bags. We’ll go to the mill this weekend. This was a quiet and pleasant weekend, I experimented with my new infrared camera. We never relax quite as much as we hope to, but the weekend did enable to fully recover from the Open House.  We saw friends Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, otherwise kept to ourselves.Time to start planning for October.
