Natural Dye Workshops at Wing & A Prayer Farm this summer: www.wingandaprayerfarm.com/yarnshop/jun...

It’s February 27 and a Cardinal sang a sweet morning song, the chickadees are twitterpated, my forced forsythia performed & I’ve got loads of tagging to do.

The Knit for Food Knit-a-thon is April 5th. I'm committing to knit for 12 hours to fight hunger. $ is split equally between Feeding America, No Kid Hungry, World Central Kitchen, and Meals on Wheels. Every donation helps food into the hands of someone who needs it. givebutter.com/knitforfood2...

Today:

In preparation for this weekend’s @nefarmandfiber.bsky.social in Boaton, here’s my Cinnamon & Bourbon sweater, designed in DK farm yarns - one of who will be in Boston throwing the shindig! 🧶💕 See you on Sunday? 🐑🐑@wingandaprayerfarm.bsky.social

Did you have a chance to catch @yankeerockfarm.bsky.social at the festival 2 weeks ago? If not, don’t dismay! We had wonderful captures from @jennbakos.bsky.social & Caitlin Wall To commemorate the presentation. Compilation coming soon to our #Youtube channel!

Shearing Day at Doc Mason’s

Fresh snow, February 9

We love seeing where our natural dye garden gets off to! Look at @jengeigley.bsky.social’s pretty project bag that we collaborated with @tanneicasey.bsky.social on:

Aren’t the designs & lists from @subitofarm.bsky.social so clever and beautiful?

I’m updating inventory, every now and then I go out to start the Scout(she’s being fickle and there’s 8” in the forecast), and just made three large tannin baths for some linen I’ll be dyeing. The sun is so pretty! The pups are all snoozy. The sheep are so content with their yummy hay🥰🐑

Did you see Thea @babycocktails.bsky.social’s new #BostonBog hat that she designed in our All The Single Ladies 100% Shetland worsted yarn?

Wow! Even @babycocktails.bsky.social’s posts are artful! Not to mention the gorgeous designs she churns out!

What a treat to host @tanneicasey.bsky.social last weekend at the @nefarmandfiber.bsky.social !

Coming later this week, a new cabled hat design for Boston’s upcoming Fiber Festival, happening this Sunday, 2/2 at the Cyclorama in the South End! 🧶🐑 💕 @nefarmandfiber.bsky.social @wingandaprayerfarm.bsky.social #knitting

One week til the New England Farm & Fiber Festival at the Boston Center for the Arts Cyclorama! Are you ready?!??

A flurry of activity as we prep for next Sunday’s festival!

Writing Patreon posts and newsletters before chores this a.m.

This morning Josie(the sheep) had a pedicure & soaked all 4 hooves in a foot bath, gave her a shot of antiinflammatory med. Now she’s eating hay with Gen Pop. Stalked the hens to see who’s eating eggs. Then I got the tractor stuck. Straw & feed run, then ate a tin of mussels for breakfast.

The #Shetland twists all snuggled in and ready to go with me to #fiberfestivals. This is our flock’s wool, the dyes are from Safflower petals & Cochineal(so expensive!) On a snowy day, it’s sunny inside.

Sheepy and dye garden/dyeing and farm yarn and very cute animal content here- happy Monday!
