My main dye is Cushing dyes but I also use pro-chem, Jacquard and Gaywool. We also do some natural plant dying. It's fun and addicting :) <BR/><BR/>kristi,<BR/>Thanks :) The cows are all doing great. They really enjoy the cooler weather as much as I do. <BR/><BR/>threecollie,<BR/>Thank you for the warm return....it's nice to be back. The one thing I really missed at the fair was my laptop. Missed reading what my blog friends were up to. <BR/><BR/>paintsmh,<BR/>Thank you - I missed you all as well! How are all those calves doing?<BR/><BR/>pamela,<BR/>The biggest difference I find between handspun and commercial is the texture and diversity of the yarns. Handspun isn't perfect where commercial yarns are the same throughout the entire skein. My yarns are machine spun on a small mini mill. They look like handpsun and commercial all in one. They are also processed without chemicals which is very important to me. <BR/><BR/>nita,<BR/>Thank you :) I'm slowly plugging away at the outside chores. 2.5" of rain yesterday and another 3 or so tonight. I'm not minding a little inside time. Thanks for being a worry wart. <BR/><BR/>nancy,<BR/>I raise finn sheep as well as shetlands and the finn have to be sheared twice per year as well as my pygora goats. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for all your comments - it's great to hear from you all! <BR/><BR/>DebiDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14353371999780496358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211012004316276379.post-92184916912147841562008-09-26T11:18:00.000-04:002008-09-26T11:18:00.000-04:00Congratulations on your successful sales at the Fa...Congratulations on your successful sales at the Fair! I need to start trying to market some of my "secondary" products! It could help pay for HAY....<BR/><BR/>I was surprised by your comment about shearing the sheep and goats! I know that Angoras have to be sheared twice a year but do you always shear your sheep in the fall? What is the rationale behind that???Nancy K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06061265740359266798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211012004316276379.post-41259557375173681972008-09-26T09:18:00.000-04:002008-09-26T09:18:00.000-04:00Love the yarn colors, and the leaves turning.
