I know this is not a picture of 1 lb. of roving, but I was taking pictures today of the animals and I took one of our free roaming rooster. Isn’t he a handsome boy!
Today I received 1 lb. of roving from a lady at, Ossiana’s, my youngest daughter’s school. It is so pretty. I used a drop spool spindle and cannot work it very well. I am getting better as I practice. It would be great to have a wheel, but they are a bit out of my price range. I am hoping to tackle some of it today.
I enjoy spinning and knitting with natural fibers, raising chickens, horses. Basically the whole gamut of what small farming entails. I would enjoy adding sheep to my list or goats. That would be a bit difficult because we live on one acre and our 2 horses take up a majority of our 1 acre. I do know that large animal wise we have our limit, but I do not consider sheep a large animal. We will see.
I know the kids would enjoy it. I have been considering possibly raising angora rabbits. I used to raise them awhile ago, but I got out of it. That maybe the better alternative to sheep.
The picture here is one of our roosters that we aquired from our friend.
I want to change the setting on this blog, but it takes me about 4 hours to accomplish that. So they are still the same boring blue. Sorry about that. Maybe I will work on that this weekend.
