14.01.2022 Almost everybody has a connection to Hagley Farm School - or so it's said. Tim Paine? Steve Smith? Pat Cummins? Last year Hagley sent off some greasy wool to be... a part of the stockpile that is used to make the famous 'baggy green'. Mr Tyson checked our letter today to make sure... It's a little connection, but we'll take it! See more

13.01.2022 Hi everyone, Hope you are all doing well staying at home.Just a wee catch up from the shed I can go to the shed .Tim has been busy adding onto the pens on the Curly Girls shearing shed.He sees this lovely space as pens but I just ordered water connection as I see it as dye studio.The Elliotdales were shorn last week such sweet souls. I have just been packing some orders and found some yummy fleeces stashed if anyone needs some while isolating .Really nice Polworth as well.

12.01.2022 Lambingin full story swing some lovely fibre growers arriving today liking the the sun .A maiden Elliotdale just had twins as did her mother.The one with the black lamb is a English Leicester /Finn cross and the lamb is sired by the black Finn ram.Plus a little bit of weaving using unspun long wools.

10.01.2022 Lots of curly babies.Triplet Finns that run really fast .It's a beautiful sunny day ,always good for getting up and going

09.01.2022 Lambing in full swing. 9 sets of triplets so far.The coloured lambs especially stunning this year.

08.01.2022 Really interesting some breeds not available in Australia. I would add Hampshire Down to group one. English Leicester is great for socks I have just finished another pair.

07.01.2022 I am not Flash Jack but Shearing sheds are special and a nod to Angus McKay

06.01.2022 Curly Wool welcomes the first triplets for the year.Mum has a stunning fleece the darker lambs are really dark brown.Interesting to see how they grow.

05.01.2022 Weather and other issues have made securing a shearing day a bit messy. We unexpectedly were able to slot in today at the last minute . Mad scramble but its too the shed. Thank you Steve and Miles for doing this. Weird thing is it is the same day as last year. I will take a couple of days to dig myself out of fleeces so if I dont reply I will get to it.

05.01.2022 English exemplars 1906. Weekly Courier.

05.01.2022 Elliotdale maiden ewe in re education camp .Hates her lamb .Fostered another mystery Elliotdale which must be a triplet that wandered away because all the ewes had 2. Finn ewe lost her lamb but seems to like this one.Some handspun different Rare Breeds for a project .Lastly brainwashing starts early Hunter us teaching his pet lamb to lead for the show.
