What a great end to the weekend. Not 10 minutes af What a great end to the weekend. Not 10 minutes after I posted about our Sunday here, did I discover that our first lamb of 2021 had been born! We had thought our mid-August breeding had failed but alas not! This little guy is finding his legs already. Be prepared for much more lamb footage in the weeks and months ahead now. #lambing2021 #romneylamb #romneysheep #ctsheep #naturalcolorsheep #newlife #farmlife #farmlifeisthebestlife #newenglandfarm #fiberfarm #wool
What does a good Sunday look like for you? For us, What does a good Sunday look like for you? For us, our Sunday has been feeding rounds bales to the sheep together (yes we have ‘his’ and ‘her’ trucks, and then a farm truck 😉) then I tried on the knitting progress and then we took a hike at Lovers Leap State Park. A nice relaxing Sunday with a balance of some quality family time and some personal time as well. What does your ideal Sunday look like for you? #farmfamily #familytime #personaltime #ctfarm #KAL #WOCsweater #farmsunday #ilovect  #newenglandfarm #fiberfarm #wool #farmlife #bayronhandmade
Farmer Whitney here! I’m participating in the Wa Farmer Whitney here! I’m participating in the Wave of Change Pullover Knitalong on Ravelry with @bayronhandmade . If you don’t know her work check out her profile here on IG. She really lays her patterns out clearly, provides videos if needed (this pattern has German Short Rows for a beautiful shaping detail to the back neck) and has designed a particularly fun knot in this sweater. I rarely get time to knit as my time is primarily working the livestock, preparing wool, designing yarns, fiber dyeing and collaborating with artisans. But I always knit up swatches of each of our yarns and know what I like in a good knitting (or weaving) yarn. I decided to finally give myself some time to enjoy our yarns and picked the dark brown colorway of our heavyweight worsted 100% Romney yarn. It is producing a lofty, hard wearing sweater that I will be able to wear around the farm and not worry I will destroy it immediately with the animals.  The yarn is such a joy to work with. We still have enough of the multicolor colorway to make the same sweater (or add a stripe of a different color!) if anyone wants to join me knitting! Our Romney/Angora blend could also meet gauge and would be so beautiful with the gentle angora halo and that flattering soft grey (link to yarn shop in bio). I probably would have picked that yarn if I didn’t worry I would ruin it here on the farm. I also finally got many of our farm yarns up on Ravelry now too, if you want to start tagging your projects! What are you knitting right now? #KAL #waveofchange #bayronhandmade #ravelry #woolfarm #ridgefieldct #indieyarndyer #fiberfarm #yarnie #ravelryyarnie #romneysheep #americanromney
Perfect weather for the ewes and their new clean c Perfect weather for the ewes and their new clean cuts today. @colin.siegmund and @yankeerockfarm took good care to keep our mamas calm and now we can monitor their body condition so much better throughout late pregnancy. Oh, and of course, here is Martha’s ‘after’ shot! #sheepfarm #fiberfarm #lambing2021 #romneysheep #americanromney #wool #woolfarm
It’s shearing day for Martha here and the other It’s shearing day for Martha here and the other Romneys due to lamb soon. People often ask why we shear now and the reasons are many. First, cleanly sheared sheep don’t hold moisture like a sheep in full wool. A barn can start to feel cold and damp in the winter months which leads to respiratory diseases so we want our sheep without a long wool coat. Second, when the lambs are born they need to learn to nurse right away and if you have a ewe in full wool the lambs can end up sucking on a piece of wool rather than the teat, and for those first few days, warm milk is all that lies between life and death for the lambs. #shearingday #americanromney #ctsheep #newenglandsheep #romneysheep #lambing2021 #ridgefieldct
The animals are all tucked in their different home The animals are all tucked in their different homes, looking at the white world outside. None of them are particularly excited by it. But we love walking all of the snow blown paths around the farm. It’s kind of magical. Drop in this Saturday 8-12 or Tuesday 10-1 to share in our winter wonderland and pick up some holiday food and special wooly gifts! #ridgefieldct #shoplocal #fairfieldcountymoms #ridgefieldmoms #farmlife #noreaster2020
Our fresh batches of charcoal facial cleansing bar Our fresh batches of charcoal facial cleansing bars and 3D sheep soaps will be ready for pickup or shipping this Friday. Did you know that cold process soaps, which lack all of the chemical additives found in most commercial soaps, take a minimum of 30 days to cure after they are made? During this time, the water evaporates from them and their crystalline structure changes. Our goat milk soaps, made from simple, skin-friendly ingredients, are yet another product that cannot be rushed if the quality is to stay as best as possible. #goatmilksoap #farmsoap #localsoap #shopridgefield #shoplocal #supportlocal #ridgefieldct #fairfieldcountymoms #ridgefieldmoms #washyourhands
