Ahhhh, suri- 100% natural in colour and fully traceable. 😊 Check out our online store 😉

Suri is absolutely perfect for shawls such as #dohne by @grethamensen 👍 (that’s the shawl the 4 skeins are laying on 😉) .
.
.
And… if you need any other shawl inspirations.. Gretha has an offer on on #ravelry where you can purchase 4 patterns and get the 5th for free…. Just saying 😉

Pregnant or not pregnant, that’s the question…

Pregnant or not pregnant, that’s the question…
Meet Fiora (black one). Around New Year one of our males got in with the girls 🙈🙈🙈- unplanned! He was in the same paddock with a few of them for about 30mins, including Fiora.
🦙
For years we’ve been trying to get her pregnant without success. However…. looking at that belly (& her behaviour has changed quite a bit too in recent months) ….. I wonder 😳
.
IF she is pregnant… gestation is on average 10 1/2 months - 12months…
.
Needless to say we have started to watch her closely 😌
🖤🦙🖤🦙🖤
Stay tuned for more 😉

Et voilà … my #dingleydell by @lilalu72 💙🤍💙
Just need to weave in the ends now and it’s finished.
I believe it is slowly starting to warm up so… perfect timing 🤩
🧶

It was a bit warmer yesterday and I’m sure the girls were glad that they had been shorn.
Different story today. Waiting for some wild weather to hit… 😳 (Everyone has shelter and got extra hay 😉)
