In the Fiber Room

"She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands"

~ Proverbs 31:13

While the weather outside has been pretty frightful, all the activity in the fiber room has been pretty delightful.  There's always something going on.  Here's a glimpse of some of the things we've been up to.

Skirting

We had some wonderful helpers in the fiber room on Saturday.  While Lena organized and filed paperwork, Harley helped at the skirting table. A few more lambs' fleeces skirted, while the two of them practiced cursive and helped with wool records.  Harley decided that she was in charge of 'fluffing'. 

All that wonderful help and entertainment, sure made the time fly :)
