Wynnie
If I were born an Icelandic ewe I would want to look like Wynnie. What a beauty! Dark chestnut eyes, flashy fleece and an extra bounce in her step make this girl stand out. This ewe will produce a stunning variegated yarn.
Wynnie is adopted by Lana, a fiber enthusiast in IL.

This darling girl is such a hoot! She stares intently at me....not sure if I am to be trusted or not. Her fleece is such a beautiful color, almost dark chocolate, but technically she is considered a black ewe.
Mimzy was adopted by Randall, a fiber artist in California, in January 2008.

Seres
This beautiful jet black ewe lamb has such intense little eyes. Although she is a smaller ewe, she seems to enjoy a fight. We often find her head to head with ewes much larger than her.

| Rahab
This heavy fleece producing ewe has the most amazing black fleece with a hint of red highlights. Her fleece has begun to silver as she ages which spins into the most gorgeous muted black yarn. If I sit in the pasture with the ewes she will inevitably come up to me to have her forehead scratched. She sways back and forth and curls her lips when being scratched. She is hilarious.
Rahab was adopted by Becky, a spinner in Texas, on April 20, 2007.

| Rebekah
This ewe lamb has the most beautiful black fleece with red overtones. Her mama produces more thel rich fleece than any other ewe in our flock. She was a little wild and crazy as a lamb, but has continued to calm down the older she gets...just as her mama did. Rebekah has intense little eyes...like a deer caught in headlights.
Rue, a spinner, is the proud adoptive mother of Rebekah as of July, 2007.

Sapphira
This stunning jet black ewe produces lots a gorgeous fleece. Her fall shearing weighed 3.9 pounds after skirting. While not rich in thel, her fleece is long and lustrous. Her vivid black fleece would be wonderful to use as accents is various projects or in a single garment. Sapphira loves to fight. She is constantly trying to test the established hierarchy of the ewes...wanting so badly to move up the ladder.
Sapphira was adopted by Jane as a gift for her friend Maryanne on April 9, 2007.

Noadiah
She has wonderful black fleece with red highlights. Her lamb fleece was full of soft ringlets and weighed 2.9 pounds, fully skirted. The the black and tan colors of her fiber could be processed many ways. This big girl is a funny mix of curiosity and cautiousness. She was a wonderful mama to her darling morrit ewe lamb as a yearling. She is very much a leader ewe...what Noadiah does, the others do.

| Jezebel
This sweet ewe lamb has a stunning black fleece with red highlights. She is a spotted ewe but her fleece is entirely black. The staple length of her lamb fleece was a bit longer than other lambs her age. Jezebel has turned into a calm and easy going ewe. She seems to be in a constant state of melancholy.
Adopted by Daria, a spinner in Utah, in July, 2007.

Eunice
She is a black spotted, but the black has silvered or faded which will make for a beautiful soft taupe/grey yarn when spun. Eunice is a leader ewe and spends much of her day pacing the fence line...anxious about what may be out there. She is a keen observer... as her genetics have dictated. I love her leader personality but have often jokingly wondered if she would benefit from Prozac... just to give her a chance to relax. Maybe she could just take up spinning like the rest of us!

Jemimah
This ewe is more leery of humans than any other ewe on our farm. We talk to her, try to give her treats and so on....all to no avail. We have settled into the practice of starring at each other from a distance. Jemimah grows a beautiful jet black fleece with a nice balance of thel and tog for a strong but soft yarn. Her fleece seems to have a faster rate of growth than many of our other ewes.
Jemimah was adopted by Debra, a spinner in Virginia, in May of 2007.
