Fleeces For Waynesburg!

Wild Rose Farm Dorset Ewe #118 Fleece
As promised, here is a look a Dorset fleece from #118. Generally speaking, we use the Dorset wool for wool quilt batts, but they would also make a sock wool or a pillow stuffing wool - in other words, something that isn't supposed to felt.

We also skirted a fleece from our Dorset x Rambouillet ewe #129 and it is in 4 bundles. Believe it or not, she lambed today and delivered a set of ram lambs shown above. Here is a picture of her fleece below ...

Finally today, here is a fleece pic from another of our Dorset x Rambouillet crosses, ewe #147.  Hey, maybe that's her in the background bleating. Just banging a bucket in the barn starts a cacophony of baas ... it's always feeding time if you're a sheep!

Black Friday @ Standing Chimney Farm!

Bottle Wear or Gift Bags! 
Here's an idea if you're local to the Western PA area ...... stop out at Standing Chimney Friday or Saturday and join the fun by shopping in a relaxed & welcoming atmosphere!  We can guarantee that there will be food & beverage sampling for you.  Wild Rose Farm visited last Saturday under our alias "LFLF". We found some great stuff if you're a fiber enthusiast.  Beth has felt, roving, & a small selection of yarns from Stramba Farm Alpacas.  She also has some repurposed wool sweaters with felted ornamentation from the wool of her own Icelandic sheep. 



I just loved these bottle sleeves/gift bags!  I'd say that they qualify as a "green gift"! 
Standing Chimney Luke Is Waiting To Greet You!
The shop is full of other things - talk about variety - and the focus is on featuring local artisans, crafters, & foods!  Expect to see more Christmas greens out front on the porch!
