Love in Many Ways

From all of us at Larkspur Funny Farn we send Love, Light and Llama Kisses on this Day!!

Endless

Carded up this batt while watching "Twilight Sage - Breaking Dawn". The batt far exceeds the movie.... This offering just went up on the Etsy shop and later on tonight I will make another because I love the way it turned out. ENDLESS possibilities with this combination. It moves and drapes so well even in batt form - just what till you make something with it.

Pour Another - SOLD

Thank you to Georgina for giving this yarn a wonderful new home. Blessings

Amazing what a glass on wine will do for this control freak. Wensleydale cross ewe raised by a local Colorado 4H girl who is trying to learn the skill of raising fiber sheep traded me for some spinning lessons. She dyed the lockets and then I took over. Core spinning the lockets made this yarn stable and secure while giving it such expression. The lockets hang on average of 5 inches long off the core. The yarn is a rich Wine and a Dark Blueberry color. Hope that it tickles someone fancy.. Up for sale at http://www.larkspurfunnyfarm.etsy.com/

How about something to brighten up those dull, cold and white days - "LOLLIPOP" is my answer... Just listed my Hand Spun yarn offering up on my Etsy Store www.larkspurfunnyfarm.etsy.com

It contains 50% Merino and 50% Bamboo for the softest feel and the ability to drape. Would be a great answer for your Spring projects or even your Easter goodies.. Any Chocolate Bunny would be thrilled to have this in his Easter Basket. Tasty Treat without the Calories!

Walking Meditation

A need for calm thinking was my goal for Sunday - easier said then done but on the carding machine I always find my balance and bliss. The fibers in this batt are LFF Gambler Alpaca fiber in his own Caramel/Toffee color. Natural color Colorado raised Camel Down and then some kettle dyed Colorado raised Merino in soft rust, pale steel and soft blue. I spent the needed time at the carding machine to make this seamless batt - smooth, soft and so Zen.

I hope it will find a new home. It is my mindful work and would love to hear you thoughts about it. I feel at times that I am just typing to myself.

What to do with MORE Snow

Do you feel like I am a broken record?? SO DO I !! The wind is howling, the snow is coming sideways and we have ice in those snowflakes. Chores this morning was brisk to say the least and I had ice on my eyelashes after the first 5 minutes. Imagine how the animals feel...

So no complaining because it does not change what is. So to get to work is all I can do. Yep, pots of fiber on the burners getting washed and placing such a great smell in the house.. Only fiber folks would think that it would be O.K. to be trapped in the house on a snowy day with this smell rolling through every room. I presently have in the pots and on the drying racks Alpaca from Juno.... An amazingly soft guy who came to us from an abusive owner. For many years this guy was angry, mean and dangerous but over time, love and continual training he found his purpose - to guard his flock of lambs and then big rams. His fleece is soft as butter and is a multi colored gray. I love spinning his fiber because it reminds me of the courage he had to build a new life here on the farm and to give his heart to small lambs who came to depended on him for love, security and protection.

Soon this amazing fleece will be ready to work with - Any thoughts on what I should do with it??

Any one out there want some before I start?? Just let me know. Last offering of this on Etsy went so fast so I don't want someone to be left out.

Outside Finally

What do you do when you finally get to go outside???

That's right find the only patch of dirt and roll!!!

Pure Joy in the Simple Things...
