Open House: Shearing Sheep

by Jon Katz
Shearing Sheep

We had six of our ten sheep sheared today (the wool was too short on the others) shorn today, Liz Lewis came fromĀ  Vermont with her mother while Maria gathered the wool for us to take to a knitting mill to be changed into yarn and roving.

Liz is one of the best, if not the best, shearers we have ever seen. She is strong, quick, gentle and professional. And she is incredibly nice. About 50 people from the Open House watched and asked questions.

Liz charges $6.50 for each sheep. We gave her more.
