Sheep to Sweater AMP at Rainshadow Farm

Marcia assured us that Homer was quite comfortable....

Last month's Sheep to Sweater AMP with The Bush School was a tremendous success. The AMP (experiential education at its acronymic finest) led by Lisa Keller (Head Librarian at The Bush School) was designed to immerse 13 high school students in the process of yarn and feltmaking from sheep to finished product. Marcia, Claudia, and I had two days to show them our stuff and boy did they get an education (and so did we!).


Marcia kicked off the event by demonstrating her famous "sheep flipping" technique, then proceeded to shear her ram, Homer.

Karen's Basketry Studio ... somehow somewhere I obtained some products for dying fiber ... have had it quite a while, I think. Just now used some and like it a lot. Is it possible to get dying stuff from you? How? Where? Please please let me know. Karen Guth ... 253-857-5318 home, 253-219-1139 cel or e-mail karensbasketry@gmail.com. Thanks.
