Grey Ewes
(or black spotted ewes that will produce grey yarn)

Lola
This beautiful girl is new to our farm. She seems very sweet with her darling sugar lips and smoky eyes, but I see a little bit of mischievousness in her eyes! I look forward to getting to know this girl. Her fiber is a very soft dove grey.
Lola is adopted by Debra, a spinner and knitter in Virginia.

With her big sweet eyes and gorgeous fleece, this ewe is absolutley stunning. The variation in her fleece will make beautiful yarn. Tabitha is a little jumpy and unsure of "intruders". She has developed the adorable habit stomping her foot when she things we have come too close.
Adopted by Gaby and her son. Gaby is a spinner from Texas.

Chloe
This ewe produces a delicate soft grey fleece with tan tips. Her fleece has an unusual crimp to it but is very soft. She has surprised me with her both the quality and quantity of fleece she produces. Her fall shearing was 2.9 pounds, fully skirted. I have diagnosed Chloe with Oppositional Defiant Disorder. This spunky ewe always fights to get her way. She is the reason I have seriously considered wearing a helmet to trim hooves!
Chloe is adopted by Wanda, a fiber enthusiast in Iowa.

This
black grey ewe lamb born in April should produce abundant thel rich
fleece. While she looks black, all of her fiber growth after birth will
be a soft grey making for an interesting fiber with wonderful
variation. This ewe has beautiful "sugar lip" and darling eyes. We are
excited to add her to our flock as her mama, Delilah, is such a
wonderful fleece producer.
Jael was adopted in May 2007 by the family of Mary Ann, a spinner in Utah, as a Mother's Day gift.

This
ewe lamb has the genetic potential to produce abundant thel rich
fleece. Her fleece will have a great deal of variation in color- from
soft muted grey to dark charcoal. She is a shy girl who seems very
unsure of most things. She is a "wait and see" kind of girl who is
happy to follow the leader. However, there are two things about Phanuel
that make her "beat to her own drum"- she is the only polled (hornless)
sheep in our flock and she has a serious affinity for weeds. She
prefers weeds to lush alfalfa.
Phanuel was adopted by Roseann, a spinner in VA, in July, 2007. Check out some of her beautiful work on her blog, appropriately named Possessed to Knit.
