Twice a year we go to the Vermont Knitting Mill to drop off or pick up the yarn made from the Bedlam Farm sheep, now a flock of ten. Maria will put this batch of quite lovely yarn and roving up for sale tomorrow, each skein is $25 plus shipping. The roving is $32 a bump plus shipping .

We are always surprised at how the yarn comes out, the colors are always richer or darker or softer than we imagined. This year, Pumpkin’s brown wool turned a new and beautiful shade of gray. The details of the yarn and bump sales will be posted on Maria’s website, fullmoonfiberart.com.

This is one of our favorite traditions on the farm, the shearing the cleaning of the wool, the drive to central Vermont and home. The Bedlam Farm wool has a substantial following, and people often send us things they made from it. It’s a lovely thing to be a part of.
