As the year comes to a close:

As 2017 comes to a close, Wheely Wooly Farm, the shepherds, the sheep dogs, the sheep, and even the barn cats are content to let winter peacefully fall upon the landscape so that we may all rest and take some time together!  It has been a busy year, starting with hot weather and tank tops to wool sweaters and mittens, from the call of seagulls over the building tops to jingle bells and cinnamon smells.  It's a good thing it's time to recoup and rest, because once again, our inventory is down quite low.

Wilbur is now all sold out again (and most, if not all of Lil' Rainbow?), and I think there are only a couple of Motif skeins left.  The Mona skeins are nearly out, only a couple left of Bobbin, and even Iris is getting low.  Bobble is sold out, Beatrice is popular in this cold weather as everyone thinks of wanting more warmth.  While the natural colors are very low, there is a nice selection of dyed yarns, including Glacier, Ruby Red, Violets, a little Aquamarine, and such.  We knew it'd be hard to get through 2017 with enough moorit, with Gwendolyn and Gracie lambing and missing out on a good production year, along with some other moorits lightening up to more of a mooskit.

Not only have we attended nearly every market since June and pumped out more yarn than ever, we undertook a huge farm project as well in refencing our pastures for the security of our sheep and dogs.  That took a LONG time! lol  And the farm office has seen some changes so that we may more efficiently serve all of you.

In all, 2017 has been a very big year for the farm!  The hours have been long, and challenges popping up all the time.  The new office is a breeze to work in, and the spinning wheel always beckons, with fleeces lined up in a tidy row, each ready for it's turn.  Ideas buzz in our heads like bees swarming around a good hive!   I have a feeling rest and down time won't last long, for January is looking really exciting!!

And now, the count down begins for gifts.  Don't forget that we now offer gift cards!  I hope to have them on the store a.s.a.p. and so much more!  If you need a gift basket in time for the holidays, please don't wait to order, as shipping deadlines are fast approaching.  Remember, shipping is FREE for a little while longer!
