My mom is probably one of the most caring people, always striving to provide opportunities to the hard working youth in her 4-H clubs! Over the years, my mom grew from several kids when I was a youth to now having 3 youth teams and her adult team! Yesterday was the Mapaca fleece to shawl event where teams had several hours to card, spin, and weave alpaca fiber into a beautiful wearable creations. My mom helped prepare 3 youth teams and our adult team, all of which completed our shawls with time to spare and had a blast in the process! Thanks for everything you do Mom!

What fun it is crocheting these market baskets from our Leicester Longwool corespun! Call to set up a class or for the pattern!
Even with the April snow storm, our first open shearing day was a success! Thank you for everyone who came out to see our shearing demos, fiber dyeing station, mill tours, snuggle the baby animals, and view the mill processing video! Look forward to our next event!
Its not very often that we take some time to processes our own fibers, so we spent part of our day yesterday working with our Leicester Longwool fleeces!
In spite of the weather forecast for tomorrow, we will still be holding our shearing day. The sheep are ready and waiting as they need their haircuts! We will also be having a dyeing station, mill tours, and meet the babies. Hope to see you then. Dress warmly as you will have to walk from building to building to participate. Cost is $5 / person who participate, children under 10 are free.
The event will run from 10 am - 3 pm We also still have some great sales going on in the shop. Its not very often that we take some time to processes our own fibers, so we spent part of our day yesterday working with our Leicester Longwool fleeces!
Scrub a dub dub! Soap classes galore! Last night we were invited to Lebanon Valley College to work with a group of 40 college students on a soap and lotion making workshop. This morning we hosted a smaller workshop in our classroom on goats milk soaps and lotions made with the fresh milk kindly donated from our Nubian Goat Luna's morning milking session!
