Our Farm Friends is a 3 ply woolen spun yarn made from our original pet flock. It includes the fiber of our FinnSheep Minnie Purl, Gladys, RBG and Rosa Parks, Gladys’ ewe Targhee/Finn cross lambs Loretta Lynn & Patsy Cline and Orphan Annie. Annie is a Shetland that we rescued from a covid victim. The blend of her toothy fiber with the natural colored Finns makes a lovely tweedy yarn that feels Irish in nature.
