...and I'm a fleece-aholic.
You will note that I did not take a picture of the back of my car this afternoon or the bags of wool stashed on the Wool House porch before I even stepped on the shearing trailer yesterday. Admitting you have a problem is the first step, right?
"My name is Sweet Pea and I'm a potato chip-aholic. Can I have another one, please? Since I'm standing here so nice, holding the front position on the trailer."
I love working the trailer with shearers Don and Bill Haudendschield. I especially love working at Kathy Meyer's.
From coarser, curly fleeces (my favorite kind :-)...
...to softer, fine fleeces (my least favorite kind, but I still think they're awful pretty).
And lots of pretty sheep.
We pulled out several especially nice fleeces for her to sell at the open fleece sale at the Kentucky Sheep and Fiber Festival this spring. Kentucky wool should be at a premium this year. With the mild weather, sheep stress was practically non-existent, hay feeding has been minimal and all the fleeces I've seen have been exceptionally clean and in good order.
May be going on an interesting shearing trip tomorrow. Stay tuned.

I love all wool also. Thanks for the photos. I pretended I was petting them.
