Traveling ....

I've been up in the Northwest and having fun looking at the animals, yarn, and fleece at the Oregon Flock and Fiber Show!  The last time I went, I got totally overwhelmed ... there was so much to take in.  This time, I focused on a couple of types of goats and sheep!

I spun up some pygora roving last spring and couldn't believe how soft it was - so they were one of my first stops.  They're darling little goats ....

.... that are very friendly and curious!

I bought quite a bit of off white roving from Mirabelle the pygora goat from Peppermint Pastures.

I've been reading a lot about Icelandic sheep recently and was very happy to find some at the show to look at.  They're smaller than I thought - but a nice size!  I talked with Laura Roe from Hyalite Farms and she raved over how mellow and easy to raise they are.

Here's the roving I bought from her - a nice white, gray mix that looks like it would also felt nicely.

And I loved the cashmere goats!  They're so fluffy and soft - little clouds on legs!

Little c left the show with this great llama finger puppet.

Happy Creating!  Deborah
