Our website has been updated with inventory after being closed while we were attending the MD sheep & wool festival. You will find our sheep’s fine merino yarn, tote bags, mugs and more! The link is in my profile. #knitsky #yarnsky #knitter #yarn #merinoyarn #projectbag 🧶

We had a wonderful weekend at the MD sheep & wool festival. If you visited our booth to buy yarn, a bag or a mug, asked questions about our flock, or stopped by just to say hello- Thank you! Your love & enthusiasm for our sheep & their small batch yarn has been felt in a big way. #knitsky #mswf

We’re set up at the MD sheep and Wool festival. Main Exhibition Hall B26. Hope to see you there! #mdsw #mdsw2025 #fiberfestival #sheepandwool #farmyarn #yarn

Here’s some happy sheep to brighten your day! I turned our flock out on new grass this morning. To see them so happy makes me smile. 😊

Working on this and planning to share on my (soon to be retired) insta - if you’d like to be added or removed, DM me! go.bsky.app/BkskveS

Hi friends! It’s been a hot minute! I have been busy prepping for the MD Sheep & Wool festival. If you will be attending the event please come say hi! We will be in the Main Exhibition Hall B26. #knitsky #yarnsky #yarn #merinoyarn #farmyarn

Here’s Magnolia, today’s sheep of the day! Magnolia and I are headed out on the road bright and early tomorrow morning as she has a date with a ram! With any luck, she will be a first time mom this fall. 🤞❤️🐑❤️ Wish her luck! 🍀 #merinosheep #sheepfarm

Our sheep of the day is Martha, twin sister of Mary our last sheep of the day! Martha is just as sweet as her sister, but a tad bit shy. She too loves a good chin scratch after her sister has had her turn. 🥰 I can tell the two sisters apart by the little spots on Martha’s nose. #merino #yarnfarm

Our sheep of the day is Mary! Of all of our flock members, Mary is the sweetest, gentlest soul. She will walk up to me and drop her head, asking for a chin scratch. I’m pretty sure she would sit with me all day if I let her. ❤️ #sheep #merinosheep #sheepfarm #merino

A little bit later than I would have liked, but I finally mulched our garlic bed using our waste wool. Beautiful to look at and as the wool decomposes it, along with the manure and VM that’s in it, will feed the Earth 🌎 #lovewool #woollover #sheepwillsavetheplanet #organicgardener

Happy Mardi Gras! 🥳🎉

I’m really behind in “sheep of the day” posts. Life keeps getting in the way and the state of the world is bringing me down… so it’s very fitting to share Winnie Woolybuns as the sheep of the day! I can always count on her to put a smile on my face. I hope she gives you a smile today too! #merino

Sweetpea is our sheep of the day! She is the daughter of Felicity and she lives up to her name. She is definitely one of the sweetest members of our flock, she craves attention and loves a good chin scratch! 🥰 #sheep #merinosheep #sheepfarm #yarnfarm #blacksheep

Holly is today’s sheep of the day! She is the first daughter born to Ivy, yesterday’s featured sheep. Her personality is much like her mom’s- she is a leader, not a follower. She also inherited her mom’s jet black, dense fleece. It’s a stunner! #blacksheep #merinosheep #snowday #sheep #merino

Today’s sheep of the day is Ivy! Twin sister of Ms. Pickles, Monday’s featured sheep. Ivy is without a doubt the leader of our flock. Always the first to investigate a noise in the distance or to see what I’m up to. Her jet black fleece is 🤩 #merinosheep #yarnfarm #merino #merinoyarn #smallfarm

If I could only wear one sweater for the rest of my life, this would be it. The pattern is Favorite Flannel by @aliciaplum.bsky.social the yarn RWCo. Better Together DK Martha & Ivy are the perfect match. 🧶 #knitsky #knit #handknit #yarnlover #knitting #merinoyarn #sweaterknitter #catalansheepdog

Ms. Pickles is our sheep du jour! You might be wondering how she got her name. Well, my husband didn’t believe me when I said I wanted to name her Pickles, and so I made it a bit fancy and gave her a title. The name fits her perfectly, she’s sweet and sassy all in one. 😂 #sheep #merino #blacksheep

Here’s Purl, today’s sheep of the day and the very first white sheep to join our flock. While Purl is a very friendly, easygoing sheep, she is the only member of my flock who would NOT be halter trained! 😂 continued in comments… 🧶 #shepherd #sheepfarm #yarnfarm #yarnie #yarnsky #knitsky #merino

Fiona is today’s featured sheep! She joined our flock in 2019 with Felicity- whose personality couldn’t be any more different. Fiona is the shyest member of our flock, often off by herself. She hangs back and lets the others get bored of me and then comes looking for a chin scratch! #merino #knitter

Today’s flock spotlight is Felicity. In 2019, Felicity was one of the first Merinos to join our flock. Since then she has become the voice of the flock, always first to call out hello when she spots me on my way to the barn. Once jet black, her wool is now a lovely silver. 🧶 #merinosheep #knitsky

Many of you are new to RWCo. so I thought I would take the next few weeks to introduce you to our flock! I must start with Rosie, a crossbreed & the oldest in our flock. She has a very laid back personality- I like to say that she keeps the class clown Merinos in line! 😂 🧶 #yarnfarm #knitter #sheep

Thank you everyone who shared a pattern suggestion! I have added quite a few favorites to my Ravelry queue. I’m going to wind up some yarn and knit a few gauge swatches to see what fabric I get on a few different sized needles. I’ll report back on what I decide to knit! Have a great weekend! 🧶

Knitters, what is your absolute favorite sweater pattern? Either a pattern you have knit several times or the one you pull out to wear most often? Looking for inspiration for my next cast on! 🧶 #knitsky #knitter #knitting #knit #knitspiration

Kitty Mack, our barn cat loves the sheep, especially Glory! The feeling is mutual. ❤️ #sheep #barncat #blacksheep #animallover #cattitude #merinosheep

Hi, I’m Jennie & that’s my friend Mary. I am saddened by the direction our country seems to be headed. I spend a lot of time with our sheep, but these days I feel I am leaning on them for solace more than ever. Continued in comments… 🧶 #knitsky #knitter

Just a little fun with Holly! 💕 #merinosheep #merino #knitter #blacksheep #knitsky

Sundays are for long walks with the dogs and for rolling in the snow! Happy Sunday everyone! #catalansheepdog #doglife #sheepdog #snowdog

This weeks #showmeyourknits prompt is Stripes! My last stripey project was the Flannel Socks pattern by @aliciaplum.bsky.social I fell in love with the fabric this design created that as soon as I finished the socks I cast on her Favorite Flannel pullover. #knit #knitsky #yarnie #knitter #knitting

History Part 6: In this image is Homer Gomer, the 1st lamb born on our farm. Born 12/24/21 I have come to realize that it is REALLY hard to tell a story in 300 characters, so today’s post will be the last of the story. Continued in comments… #merinosheep #sheepfarm #merino #pennsylvania

History Part 5: In 2018 we bought the land that is now our farm, broke ground in 2019 & we moved in 2020. At the time we had 5 sheep, and have slowly grown our flock to 18. Our sheep rotationally graze over 6 acres, during the grass growing months. Continued in comments… #sheepfarm #yarnfarm

Clover 🍀 #merino #merinosheep #blacksheep #merinolove

Felicity & Fiona are still a part of our flock. Felicity is usually the first to call to me when she sees me outside. Fiona is much more reserved, she hangs back & waits for the others to get bored with me & then comes to me for a chin scratch. 😊 #merinosheep #sheep #yarnfarm #merino

History Part 4: After ~2 years of owning sheep, I was hooked! Their gentle demeanor & fun personalities had me wanting more. Once again Dave had an idea! One day he asked why we didn’t own any Merino sheep, since most of the yarn I was knitting with was Merino. Continued in comments…

I’m currently knitting @aliciaplum.bsky.social Favorite Flannel pattern and can attest to how well written her patterns are! If you have time in your schedule to test knit for her, I know you will be glad you did!

Here’s more of the birthday girl! #sheeplife #birthdaygirl #pennsylvania #merino

We have a #birthday among our flock! I don’t celebrate every birthday, but Winnie’s is hard to forget; it was a frigid 🥶 day. She didn’t take to nursing right away, so I tube fed her first meal. If you would like some Winnie in your life, head on over to our website! #projectbag #totebag #knitter 🧶

Looking for some knitting inspiration? I love seeing what’s on Lorien’s knitting needles!

If you’re looking for me, I’ll be right over here ruminating with Mary. ❤️ What are you up to today #bluesky #knitsky friends? #yarnfarm #merino #sheepfarm

Part 3 history: when I received my first batch of yarn back from the mill, I knew I needed to share it with other crafters. I named it Ropollo, a mashup of Rosie & Apollo, the sheep whose wool went into the yarn. My first knit from it was the Georgetown cardi, by Hannah Fettig. 🧶 #knitsky #knitter

Does a vest count for #showmeyourknits sweater & cables edition? This is my Oban vest knit out of my very own Winnie Woolybuns DK, that’s Winnie in the photo with me. The pattern was written by the brilliant cable genius @babycocktails.bsky.social

It’s been so chilly this week and I’ve been crafting this lovely! Yarn by @renningerwoolco.bsky.social & Jill Draper #ingesolosweater #knitting #knitter #colorworkknitting

Part 2 history: As a knitter, I was a bit obsessed with learning all that I could about wool & how it went from being on the sheep to becoming yarn. My husband suggested we buy a sheep so that I could learn first hand what goes into producing yarn. Apollo & Rosie began my journey into 🧶 #knit #Yarn

I’m trying my best to figure this new app out. I’m wondering if you could do me a favor and let me know how you found me here. Do you follow me on IG too? That’s Ms. Purl in the image. ❤️ #knitter #yarnfarmer #farmyarn #sheep

I was a knitter long before I became a shepherd. Over the coming weeks, I thought I would share the history of Renninger Wool Co. in 300 characters or less increments. My current WIP Favorite Flannel by Alicia Plummer in RWC DK Mary & Ivy Are you a crafter? If so, what are you working on? 🧶 #knit
