FYI: Twin Springs Farm in Avonmore (out here in Westmoreland Co.) is shearing their flock of Shetlands on Saturday. I’ll post details on the Rav Pgh board, as I’ve been meaning to do for a few days.

The yarn is beautiful! I love that sweet little crimp/crinkle it has.

We were supposed to go to a local sheep farm today with my daughters playschool group. It was cancelled because of snow and hopefully we will go Friday-I can’t wait.

How do you find small sweaters? I can’t seem to find them anywhere. :(
