Fiber is fabulous.
But it's better with twist.
Field notes from a small farm raising Navajo-Churro sheep — the slow work of shearing, sorting, washing, carding, and spinning fleece into yarn worth knitting.
Three threads,
one craft.
Everything on this site lives in one of three places — the pasture, the wash bench, or the wheel.

Hi, I'm Dani.
I'm an enthusiastic cheesemaker and an accidental shepherdess. In my efforts to make better cheese, I purchased 3 Navajo-Churro sheep for milk. Ha! I soon realized that wasn't going to happen.
No problem! I just changed my focus to spinning the fiber into yarn and I am loving it. I'm still not great at it, but I have improved considerably.
Here on my blog, I'm sharing the details about my sheep, their wool, and how I am preparing the fiber for spinning, felting, and sometimes just for compost!
