Spring Greetings!

March is a busy time here at Springdelle Farm. Our recent shearing day yielded a gorgeous mountain of new fleeces and we are now happily anticipating the arrival of new lambs. You can follow along with our lambing season at my blog: Sheep Gal: Notes from a Shelburne Shepherd.

I am looking forward to seeing you at upcoming spring shows where I will be featuring farm-fresh new yarns and handspinning fibers, new hand-crafted spindles and knitting needles from Grafton Fibers and a few surprises. Be sure to visit my booth:

MAY 10 & 11
New Hampshire Sheep & Wool Festival at the Hopkinton Fairground, Contoocook, NH

MAY 17
WEBS Fleece Market at Webs, America's Yarn Store, Northampton, MA

MAY 24 & 25
Massachusetts Sheep & Wool Festival at the Cummington Fairgrounds, Cummington,MA

In the meantime, if your spring knitting plans include socks, check out Lisa Lloyd's Thistle and Fox Sock Book which showcases socks for all seasons and is available for $20 (plus tax & postage). This booklet features several new socks, perfect in our Fox Sox yarn.

With wishes for a happy spring,
