Its such a great feeling. I thought Id share a short post on the entire process with some photos.<br />
Who you are seeing here is my Finn sheep Rosie. She was a bottle 4-H lamb so she is extremely friendly. Get into your lap friendly! Rosie has a wonderful fleece that needs to be shorn twice a year. All my sheep and goats are fiber animals that need to be shorn twice in a year. So I get double the fleece from my animals! Rosie grows a fantastic Finn fleece with lots of crimp. So it is next to the skin.<br />
Below is the process that one of my fleeces go through once off the sheep. From Sheep to Woven Pillow in pictures.<br />

Hi Everyone, Im going to share a quick blog post to tell you all what has been going on at the farm.</div>
First we are thrilled that Spring made an appearance! It was a long winter.<br />
<br />
Spring brought with her baby chicks to our farm!! We are thrilled to welcome a number of babies and some pullets. Those of you that know me well know that I love my chickens and their eggs. Our choice of breeds are heirloom or specialty rare breeds. We love the beauty and differences in appearance and personalities that these birds offer us. Not to mention the color assortment of eggs! We expanded our chicken coop to a really big space for our birds. Our eggs are starting to come in by a dozen a day and more expected to start laying in the fall. We have been lucky enough to now be working with The All American General Store in Seymour here in CT to sell our eggs. So if you are in the area pop into the General Store for some home grown with love chicken eggs! Of all colors<br />
<br />
BIG NEWS! we are in the process of adopting two ducks from the Majestic Waterfowl<br />
<br />
Next news, shearing is done!! All the critters have their winter coats off so I have been washing and spinning fleeces like crazy. Now Im spinning them and listing them in my etsy shop as I go along. take a peek www.Pamsfiber.etsy.com I have also been weaving pillow toppers. They too are listed in my Etsy shop.<br />
<br />
The Spinners Notebook has taken on a new look again. Lots of new contributors with some awesome new actual fiber samples. A supplement is available to those who already have the book. We will be offering lots of Brown Bag Fiber samples through my etsy shop. Which are brown bags with 2-4 oz of wonderful fiber samples often from our shepherds who contributed the fiber sample in the Spinners Notebook. Also in my Etsy shop.<br />
<br />
Garden is in and growing with cool weather crop. Tomatoes are next. Patio plants planted along with a huge pot of lavender. Fairy garden is in.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to the Spinning Retreat that Im part of offering at the Yellow Farm in NY. Oh, what a weekend that will be.<br />
<br />
Follow me on FB under Pam Blasko for farm updates, specials and news all about the Spinners Notebook. I post daily and would love to friend you. Through my page you can access my etsy and the Spinners Notebook page for all updates ect. I just posted my tips on setting your handspun yarn. So please stop on by. <br />
<br />
I hope your spring is going well and is productive. Ill be back soon to post pics as soon as I can figure out why Im having trouble with blogging!! Its either me or blogger has an issue. Youve got the news from the farm anyway...<br />
<br />
Oh, one more thing, the Farm Shop is open now by appointment all most anytime....<br />
<br />
Happy Spring Folks!<br />

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
Where to start? It has been such a busy 2014 that our blog has suffered
terribly. Its been a long winter and hard to manage the farm as well. But here
we are all the critters from the farm to say we're baaaaahck! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
So lets begin by telling you that we survived the winter. WHEW! it was not
easy. Plus Mom had hand surgery over the winter which made things really hard.
We did our best to help her out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
We have increased our chicken flock and get about 12 eggs a day! Yup, its
egg heaven over here. We enjoy watching the chickens, we find them quite
entertaining. Occasionally we chase them, but shhhh don't say anything!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
We are being shorn this weekend!! Yay, we are so ready. But of course its
going to be a cold weekend. We dont worry though because Mom will cover us and
give us lots of fresh straw to help us stay warm. So there will be a Finn
fleece, 2 Wensleydale fleeces, 1 Teeswater fleece and 4 pygora fleeces. Im sure
Mom will share some in her Etsy shop. <a href="http://www.pamsfiber.etsy.com/" title="http://www.pamsfiber.etsy.com/">www.pamsfiber.etsy.com</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
So, let us think......Oh yes the Spinners Notebook has been updated with 5
more pages! Its grown nicely with some amazing fiber samples. And we hear that
this year there will be a newsletter a few times a year, another update with
more supplements and some surprises that we are not allowed to tell you about.
And Mom will know because she now has an eye in the sky on us 24/7. A sheep cam
watches over us. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
We also hear that there in going to be a retreat that Mom Ashly from
Ashlyannshands and Virginia from Yellow Farm are going to offer. You will all
be updated on that very soon. Its going to be awesome, lots of great fibery
things, farm visits, yoga for spinners and more! Stay tuned. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
We are all glad at Dream Come True Farm that Spring is hear and we hope
that you all survived the winter months with ease. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
And the BIG news for now is that Mom has promised to update our blog on a
regular basis again with lots of good fibery stuff, news about us (of course)
and share all kinds of goodies with you all. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
So take a peek at our pictures to see how good we look and know that we
have missed you all!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Helloooooo Everyone! <br />
Its complete and ready to ship!<br />
The big update is the NEWS about my "<strong><em>Spinners Notebook"</em></strong>. For those that are unfamiliar its a three ringed binder that is put together here on the farm fro Fiber Artists......a book all about wool with actual fiber samples from the sheep who's shepherds participated. They each wrote clear and informative information on their breeds and send us the actual fiber samples which is fabulous to be able to touch and feel the breeds. They all offer fleeces and yarn for sale through their farms. Their contact info is supplied in the book. We also had some of who I consider awesome fiber artist who may or may not have farms write some awesome article for the book. The book has been around for over 12 years but now has completely been re-done! An Awesome book and very exciting for me! A must have book for any new fiber artist or a seasoned one that would like to record their experiences with fleece, dyes etc.<br />
<br />
If interested please take a look and learn more about in my Etsy shop where it sells and is pictured<br />
<br />
Also I have page on Facebook that works as an extension to the <strong><em>Spinners Notebook</em></strong>, Tips, texhniques and more shared daily. Dream Come True Farm and Pamfiber<br />
Or visit me on FB Pam Blasko<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.pamsfiber.etsy.com/" target="_blank">www.pamsfiber.etsy.com</a><br />
<br />
Take a look in my etsy to see all the fun things I have been creating lately. Weaving, making fiber vassals, wall hangings, woven wrist cuffs. Knitted wire wrist cuffs, AWESOME handspun yarns and kits. And so much more. <br />
<br />
It's been an awesome busy spring! Shearing, fiber trips, fiber fairs and new chickens! I'm going to try and just highlight what has been happening so as not have this post be a novel!<br />
So let's see April we had The Wool Wench Suzy Brown visit with Arlene Thayer from Spin Artiste on line publication. Suzy is an international instructor of art yarns and she did a workshop here on the farm with 25 women! It was spectacular to say the least.<br />
I was a vendor in CT Sheep And Wool Festival in April as well.<br />
We had our goats and sheep shorn early May. So you know what that means. FIBER, FIBER AND MORE FIBER!<br />
Ashlyann and I went to the spin Artiste Studio in Maryland and took a workshop with Girl With A Hook who is an adorable free form crochet instructor. It was an awesome workshop.<br />
We also attended the MD sheep and Wool Fest. Yup, more FIBER! <br />
And for both April and May we added new chickens to the flock and created a new space for them. We call their space Coop Town USA I adore all these chickens and could spend hours watching them. It's actually a bit of an addiction. Believe it or not chickens are very interesting to watch while they interact with one another. <br />
Mike added onto our back deck. It now wraps around the side of the house and over looks the entire barn yard. It's like heaven. Plans to spend the summer on it spinning and weaving! <br />
<br />
Upcoming next week is JazzTurtle spin to weave workshop, 2nd annual workshop here on the farm. Should be an awesome time. New deck to spin and weave on, I'm excited. There may be a space or two still open so if interested contact me <a href="mailto:dctfyarns@aol.com">dctfyarns@aol.com</a><br />
<br />
So check out my Etsy shop to see ALL the new things I have been creating. I must say Ive been very busy. The creative juices are flowing! <br />
<br />
Summer is next week. I hope your gardens are in, your porch furniture is out and ready to enjoy the sunshine. I know I am here in the New England. <br />
<br />
Off to be creative. <br />
<br />
XO<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Small Batch Fiber Dyeing<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hi everyone, I'm back to share what I did the other morning here
on the farm. I spent the entire morning doing some small batch fiber
dyeing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are having quite the event
here on the farm this weekend. I mentioned it in the previous post but it’s
worth mentioning again. Suzy Brown aka Wool Wench is coming to the farm to do a
workshop on blending fiber, art yarn spinning and plying. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Suzy is from the Netherlands and is teaching
on the east coast a few workshops. We were to have some fibers dyed and ready
to go!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> So this morning I got out my Goodwill purchased crock pots and did some
small batch dyeing to add to a color scheme that is in my mind. How I do my
small batch dyeing is what I thought I would share with you today. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Tools needed<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">1. Crock pots that will be used for dyeing only. I found all
of mine in Goodwill<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>for only a few
dollars each. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">2.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I use Country
Classic dyes. They are a one-step dye power. They can purchased on line.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">3. water<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">4. fiber<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">5. wooden spoon<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Step 1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>wet the fiber
in a sink with hot water for 20 minutes. This is to allow the dye to be
absorbed with ease.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Step 2<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fill your
crock pots with hot water and turn them on high<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Step 3. Add your dye according the instructions on the
jar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Step 4. Take out your fiber and add it to the crock pots,
making sure it is all covered. You can press it down ever so gently with a
wooden spoon. I say gently so the fiber won’t felt. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Step 5. Cover your pots.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In 15 minutes turn the temp to low and set the timer for 30 minutes. DO
NOT uncover.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Step 6. When your time is up take one pot at a time and dump
it into the sink. Be careful, it will be hot. Then fill the sink up with hot
water for a rinse. After about 10 minutes drain the sink and repeat until<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>sink water is fairly clear. Try not to change
the temp of the water by much in-between the rinsing, again so as not to felt
the fiber. When the water is fairly clear or completely clear pick up the fiber
and gently give it a light squeeze to drain some of the water from the fiber.
Transfer it to a screen to dry. A screen will allow air flow from the top and
bottom drying the fiber quicker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you
do not have one you can lay out on a towel in the sun. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Repeat step 6 with each crock pot of fiber. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I use this technique for all my small batch dyeing. I find
it really simple and always successful. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Today the fiber I dyed was pygora goat locks, a small
handful of Wensleydale sheep <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>locks and
silk hankies that will be used in our new plying technique that we will be
learning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It should be an adventurous
day. I’ll blog all about it next week!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This fiber will be blended with an already dyed sheep wool that I had
and wanted to work around the color scheme. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I would also like to mention my new chickens! Lots of new chickens! Earlier in Spring we purchased from a local farmer some silkie chickens who are absolutely gorgeous! Gentle and friendly they have just started giving us eggs. Our quail from last year are still giving us eggs daily as well. Mike came home with 1/2 dozen one week old Leghorn chickens last week! He says these eggs are going to be bigger!! So the silkies are now mine and the leghorns are his! he is building another small coop for his chickens this weekend. And now I'm going to have to listen to "My eggs are bigger then your eggs!" Jeeeez! Oh well, as long as he is happy. He sure keeps me happy with all of my animal adventures!! </span></div>

I've offered a spiral sock pattern here with no need to do a heel turn! It's a tube sock that takes shape of your foot as worn. I hope you enjoy it. A wonderful pattern for your warm weather knitting. The pattern is posted below. Feel free to copy. <br />

Adding a little bit of spring to my wardrobe! I'm going to knit a few of these up to brighten up the dull days that have settled here in the North East.<br />
Fast and simple for even a beginner. Here goes, the recipe:<br />
Spring flower from Dream Come True Farm<br />
Use a needle that is suitable to the yarn size you choose. I used a worsted weight with a sz 7 needle.<br />
1. CO 10<br />
2. BO 9<br />
3. CO 10 <br />
4. BO 9<br />
Continue doing 1 through 4 until you have 6, 7 or up to 8 spiky petals<br />
knitted.<br />
Next you will end your work, you will only have one st on your needle so you will just pull the yarn through it to secure. <br />
Next you will sew the piece with a piece of yarn into a circle by placing the first and last spiky petal next to one another. Sew into the circle. Adorn it with either a bobble in the center or a button. Jazz it up and sew some tiny beads on. If you like some quiet hand work this is a perfect really fast piece. <br />
Play around and be creative while waiting for spring to join us. Have fun with it!<br />
<br />

This is the Magical Mystery Lace pattern that I created for a quick and easy way to make another great item for the spring. Its geared toward beginner knitters but even a seasoned knitter would enjoy the outcome of this. I have put kits together with really pretty handspun yarns. Mulberry silk, merino blend. Soffsilk, light weight Babydoll Southdown and a few other wonderful handspuns. I'm making up these kits with one other kit for a shrug/shawl to be sold on FB, my Etsy shop and at the CT Sheep and Wool Festival, last weekend in April. If your in the area or live with in a few hour its the first fiber festival of the year, so come on down and be inspired by many talented fiber artist. Ill also be doing a lecture/demo on chooding the correct fleece to be spun for your knitting project.</div>

Pictured here is my Module 2 assignment yarn for The Journey of the Golden Fleece course that I am participating in through Wool Wench, Suzy Brown and Spin Artiste, Arlene Thayer. They are the team that offers this awesome course together! Its an online course approx 10 months long. Its full of challenges, good info, friendships, and so much more. If your a spinner you must check out this course</div>

This particular yarn pictured represents the how and whys I got started in raising first horses then sheep. The yarn itself is wool plied in Navajo ply to represent a lead line for horses. The long sheep locks that were spun in while doing the Navajo ply represent my sheep. Its adorned with leather hearts, turquoise, a small horse and a bouquet of horse tail. Ending with a clip on the lead line like yarn. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So much fun!!</div>

So shearing season is near, first week in May. A workshop weekend is happening here in April with Suzy Brown from the Netherlands teaching. Joining her will be the ever so wonderful Arlene Thayer from Spin Artiste and 20 wonderful participants!At the end of April will be the CT Sheep and Wool Festival in Vernon CT</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With the sheep and wool fest so near my concentration has been on spinning up handspuns of a variety of fibers and creating kits of my own design to be offered.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Spring is not here as of yet. Nor is there any signs of it. I'm so done this year with the frigid temps and the many snow storms. I try to look at it and say, well with such a bad winter maybe my fiber buddies grew and extra long fleece. Well, I can hope. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope Spring visits us all very soon. Until then, be warm, knit, spin and weave and dream of sunshine, the color green, blue skies and the smell of spring. </div>

PS I'm going to spill the beans on a little secret. I have been wanting to revise the Spinners Notebook that I offer for a while now. So I spoke to Ashly who shared in this project with me about revising it. Well, revision turned into redoing almost the entire book. It will have articles written by who I consider and value as some of the most talented and knowledgeable fiber artist in our community. We also have all brand new farms with their desired fiber to feature. We chose them all by their breed of fiber animal, their knowledge and their animal husbandry. The book is in the proofing stage but will be available by April. I know you will love what is in it. If you already own one we will sell the new info at a slightly discounted rate without the notebook for you to insert in your already existing book. So stay-tuned!</div>

So it's been so long since I have posted here. I'm finding it hard to find the time because I devote so much time to writing and posting on FB. I'm thinking of just changing over to my pages there. I'm under pamsfiber Pam Blasko and my farm page is Dream Come True Farm and Pamsfiber. I update daily. Pics, sales, videos and stories can be found there. With all my spinning and animal husbandry I'm not finding the extra time to write here. I'd love you to join me on FB it's a social media venue that seems to be working well for me. Making new friends, learning and sharing. So come on over and join me there. I will still occasionally post things of interest here, videos, learning tools and some important farm updates. Hope I see you on FB! <br />

<br />Pams Fiber from Dream Come True Farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00836654767197174167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4480871218987194610.post-54082574255664904652013-11-26T19:04:00.003-05:002013-11-27T15:55:49.047-05:00So much to tell, Golden Fleece Journey, new critters, shop updates, new friends! Where do I start with what has been going on in the last 2 months? I have been happily busy here on the farm. A tiny bit of sadness visited us this past weekend so I guess we can start there and get it over with. We lost our sweetest sheep Hershey Kiss. She was 14 years old and a happy sweet sheep that loved me dearly. I know this for a fact by the way she stuck to me like my shadow whenever I was out in the barnyard. And I loved her as much. We had such a routine together daily. Because of this I will miss her dearly. She showed no sign of illness of distress, I went out one morning and she was gone. Gone to greener pastures, a new flock with a new shepherd to care for her. I like to think she dyed of old age and it was quick and painless. It did seem that this was the case RIP Hershey Kiss I will miss you dearly......<br />
<br />
Now for happier subjects. We have 3 new sheep in our flock. Rosie the Finn, she is a lamb with a fleece to die for. 8 months old now, a sweetheart. She still acts like a lamb so she makes me smile quite often. <br />
<br />
They there is Tomasina the Wensleydale 3 years old and Shira the Teeswater 3 year old. Tomasina is plain old sweet. Sweet as could be. She is a big girl with the biggest kindness eyes and lots of fleece. Accept for her size you wouldn't even know she was out there. Sweet. sweet, sweet. She allows me to pat her, give kisses and admire her curly fleece daily. <br />
<br />
And Shira. Well I'm not sure how to explain Shira. She is a quick moving bull in a china cabinet!! A big sheep too, she makes me laugh daily with her crazy antics and her silly ways. But keep and eye on her. She'll knock you right over with her bull in the china cabinet movements. She doesn't mean it, its just who she is. Not a mean bone to her. She will allow kisses but at some point, enough is enough and she's done!<br />
<br />
Both these girls are from an awesome breeder, Virginia from Yellow farm in NY<br />
We visited her lovely farm, spent the night, talked fibery talk and enjoyed her critters including her Scotish Highlander cow, Bubbles! If you have the chance google Yellow farm. These sheep are taken sunch wonderful care of and her breeding program is tops! Not to mention Virginia's Fiber arts talent...<br />
<br />
So now to talk about the 2 new goat kids. Tiny Tim and Mr. Bojangles. Tiny Tim has the best pygora goat fleece out there. He is giving Chip a run for best fleece!! Mr Bojangles, a character, a people person, a goat clown and sweet. They have added a lot of personality to the goat barn. Never a dull moment. My grandson Luke enjoys the goat games that they allow him to par take in.<br />
<br />
So as you can see we've grown here at Dream Come True! Loving each and everyone of them I'm blessed to be among such beauty each day. My Babydoll sheep don't quite know what to make of all the new family members but they have adjusted just fine. The llamas love the new company. And the ponies just shake their heads. Mike my DH just goes along with it all smiling. Its a wonderful life.<br />
<br />
Ive started an on line course through Spin Artiste and Wool Wench, called The Golden Fleece. Its a wonderful spinning and weaving course that is opening my mind and getting my creative juices flowing. Its for 10 months and I'm in month 1. Looking forward to the many assignments that will come. I'm meeting people from all over the world! All in the course too. I think there is about 100 of us. What a cool thing to be involved with. We are keeping a journal on the entire course with samples and photos. There is a workbook that we receive pages of for each assignment called Modules every 6 weeks. We network, we share, its awesome. Part of the course is a circular loom made especially for the course, logo and all. Lots of thought and planning went into this course and these ladies are very busy working with all of us. This will be a large part of my work over the winter months that I'm looking forward to. I'm grateful to be involved in such creativeness. Ill share as we go along some of my work.<br />
<br />
Hmmmmm, what else! as if this is not enough. I had over night guests that were passing through on their way to shows.Shepherdess Kelly from Romney Ridge Farm in Maine. Who I call Master Dyer of yarns. You should see her work. She stayed a night on her way from a show. Girls night of yakking and wine drinking! Very Late! It was nice to share some time with her. Check her yarns out on the net. She always has some awesome ideas for her yarns, patterns etc. Oh and did I mention her adorable artistic needle felting kits! Romney Ridge Farm, Maine<br />
<br />
And there was Kathy Withers from Creative Designs by Kathy. She is an angora goat breeder. She was on her way to a show and spent the good part of a day and over night here. We spun, shared ideas, spun some more, spread her wonderful goat fleeces out all over my kitchen in bags, invited some of the girls over to make some fiber purchases! Great time, great angora fiber and a new friend for sure!<br />
<br />
Earlier this year I participated in Spin Quest in VA. While there I visited a FB friend Candy and Bill. Calluna Farm. Candy is Shepherdess to Navajo Churro sheep, alpaca, horses a mini donkey and some beautiful chickens. AND soon, Navajo goats will join her farm. She is a talented fiber artist who shared her home, farm, ideas and fleece with such joy. We had an awesomely special time. <br />
<br />
Our farm is having our annual OPEN HOUSE December 1 12-4pm. You can meet all the new critters and visit with the old one's, have a cup of hot cider, visit and meet new friends around the camp fire, shop our farm shop and visit with Mr. and Mrs Claus. Yes, I said Mr. and Mrs. Claus!! Santa will be be here once again making a list and sitting for photos. Come on out and enjoy some good old fashioned farm fun. A gathering of friends to bring in the holiday season. What could be better. We need gatherings like this just to remind us of the simple things in life that should be cheerished. <br />
<br />
My weaving has taken off in a big way. That and my spinning are daily activities for me that I thoroughly enjoy. Lots of both in the farm shop. Oh and Ashly from Ashlyannshands has brought me an entire new line of pottery for the shop. The shop is surely full with holiday gifts for all. Mike has some woodworking in it, I have woven wall hangings, shawls, scarves, hats, mittens, art yarn lariats, cowls are my big thing this year. Of course handspun yarns galore! So much color and texture when that shop door opens. So come take a peek. Call anytime, email or FB for an appointment. Or come to the open house. 12-1 12-4pm. We will also be open most Sundays through Christmas, but give a call to make sure we will be here. 203-218-0508<br />
<br />
I took a saori weaving class that was awesome. I learned so much. It was so freeing to weave the saori style. I'm taking another in 3 weeks. Cant wait. <br />
<br />
My studio is organized for the winter, so that is where you will find me most days. Spinning, weaving, creating, reflecting and enjoying life while I look out of the studio window on the second floor over the entire barnyard. A room with a view for sure. <br />
<br />
Wishing you and yours a Happy Holiday season with a grand New Year!<br />
<br />
Woolly Hugs from all of us on Dream Come True Farm xo<br />

I have a new look and new items!<a href="http://www.pamsiber.etsy.com/">www.pamsiber.etsy.com</a><br />
<br />
I have been working hard over the summer to offer new and different items in my Etsy shop. My passion and Zen is to spin art yarns. Non traditional full of fun, unique in fiber and full of interest and texture. Not everyone knits or crochets so I decided to start to design textile art wear. So I now have more to offer in the way of wearable fiber arts. So check out my Etsy. I have lots more to add, and will each week. Its a matter of photographing it all.....Thank you ahead of time for taking a peek. Feedback is welcome. <br />

Both Fiber arts wise and farm activity wise. I had the opportunity to do some traveling with friends that brought me to new fiber friends and ideas. As I sit and contemplate on my journeys I relish in the friendships that were made or in some cased renewed. Fiber arts is a funny thing that has a way of bringing folks together. New ideas are created, ideas are shared and new thoughts and creations emerge. I return home, busy my mind with ideas, remembering the beauty in each person I spent time with and joy floods my soul. I then begin to create with a feeling of abundance and gratitude through my fiber arts. As I reflect on my journeys my heart feels full, my eyes open and unexpected creativity flows through me. <br />
I'm busying myself with plans for a show this weekend and a spinning workshop idea is dancing in my mind. I have also decided to give my Etsy shop a face lift and offer more finished wearable fiber art accessories. I look at my yarns and happiness over comes me so I thought, why are you not creating more with these beautiful yarns? So that has brought me to the new ideas that are unfolding for my Etsy shop. I have also worked hard over the summer on some spinning techniques that I now feel I have all the kinks and bugs out of. A workshop is in order to share these ideas and bring us all together once again to work on what we love to do. So keep it in mind and check back for a date and the class description.<br />
So for today these are my thoughts.......I hope you all have enjoyed your summer and are ready for the fall months. After all its when we get to fashion our hand knits!<br />
My ideas are in the works and I cannot wait for you to all here about them as they unfold. <br />

Weaving has become a passion of mine .I'm using The Ashford rigid heddle looms. I have the 8" 12" and 32" looms. I'm using all my handspun yarns and enjoying every minute of featuring them in my weavings. I'm exploring traditional and saori weaving. These are just a few of what has come off of my looms. <br />

This red yarn was a fun project that was thrown in the Tour de Fleece on Sunday night. We were asked to spin a Dexter yarn or a True Blood Yarn, from the shows. Mine was from the show Dexter. Creepy???? YES CREEPY!<br />

I hosted a weaving project at a celebration of life for my dear friend Scarlett's son who was killed in the Sandy Hook Newtown school shooting. We all came together on Jesse Lewis's 7th birthday to celebrate his wonderful but short life and wove this saori style weaving throughout the day. It was then given to his Mom as a community of sharing and weaving love for little Jesse and his Mom and brother JT. It was a huge success. Thanks to EVERYONE who wove that day. Especially Ashly, Suzy, Annie and Leslie.<br />

BIG farm news! These two kids (pygora) will be arriving here on the farm to join the other kids in October. They were born in April/May and will make the trip from Oregon when the summer months end. To hot to make the cross country trip this summer. Are they the cutest? I'm in love. Thank you Lisa from Hawks Mountain Ranch in Oregon who keeps me up to date on the kids personalities and updated photos.<br />

Washing a fleece</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
Shearing season is here and there are lots of wonderful fleeces to be had
out there! My critters are all shorn and the preparation process for spinning
them has begun.</div>
<div>
My method for washing a fleece:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm asked all the time, "how do you wash a fleece?" I have a few methods,
but the easiest one that I like to use most of the time is the one when I use a
salad spinner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
The following pictures will show you the steps in order. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
I fill the sink with the hottest water from my tap as possible. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Add the dish detergent (Dawn) it cuts the lanolin. I add about a tsp.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Fill the basket from the salad spinner with fiber. Not packed solid but
full with a little push and then add a little more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Put the spinner in the water in the sink. The water should cover the
spinner and fiber well</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
In a few minutes I lift the salad spinner up out of the water about 3-4
times letting the dirty water drain from the spinner each time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Let the spinner with wool sit for 20-30 minutes, not letting the water cool
down to much or the lanolin will redeposit itself onto the fleece leaving it
sticky.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Next drain the sink and fill with the hottest water for your first rinse .
Let sit 15-20 minutes. Lift in and out once again a couple of times-drain and
repeat 2-3 times, rinse #2 I add about 1/4 cup vinegar, this helps rinse out
the soap and leaves the fleece shiny. Rinse # 3 I add about 7-10 drops of
lavender essential oil, this treats the wool and helps repel moths while waiting
to be used, not to mention the slight smell of the lavender . But of course this
is optional. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Next you will place the basket back into the salad spinner and spin!! Empty
spun water and repeat until there is no water spinning out from the wool</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Notice I have not agitated the wool in any way at all. My hands never touch
it until the final spin. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Spread onto a wire screen for faster drying or onto a towel and turn
every 4 hours or so, so the wool will dry evenly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
This is my favorite method of washing wool for a few reasons. It does not
allow any wool to accidentally go down my drain, I don't have to handle the wool
once I begin the washing process and finally the spinning of the wool in the
spinner, taking out excess water allows it to dry much quicker. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
I hope this will help those of you that wonder how in the world you'll
clean that fleece!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
I do an entire fleece in this method. I can do a little each day of spend a
few hours doing an entire fleece.</div>

I did it!I I finally accomplished the completion of my book of inspirational handspun yarns. It was an idea for a long time and then one day I finally began the task of photographing the yarns that I wanted to share. I chose a variety of handspuns and included the fiber used and the technique I used to spin them. This was such a learning experience. I finally learned all about my camera! The requirements for photographing for a book were tedious to say the least. The goal was to show beautifully spun yarns that would inspire the spinner to use their unconventional creative side. So here it is! Out Of The Box Handspun Yarns!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The book is hard cover with beautifully detailed photographs. It sells for 30.00 plus shipping. If interested please contact me at <a href="mailto:dctfyarns@aol.com">dctfyarns</a><a href="mailto:dctfyarns@aol.com">@aol.com</a></div>

The first weekend in March I had the pleasure of teaching an into to art yarn spinning class at Madison Wool. Dayna went all out to let us use her back room in the shop. Where better to have a class then the back room at Mad Wool!?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the class was a blast the spinners all completed the task at hand and turned out some awesome art yarns. We first made our own art batts from a washed fleece that I brought and some fun add in's. Then spun a single, next coiled it onto a core. Each gal turned out a great yarn Its so interesting to watch how we all start with the same material and in the end each skein was so different. A variety of wheels were used which is also interesting to see how each wheel will spin. I love to see the satisfaction in one's face when they complete their very first art yarn. I remember the feeling. I hope all had as good a time as I did and that this was only the beginning of their creative spinning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A big thank you to Dayna and all the ladies for providing me with an awesome Sunday afternoon. </div>

The shop looked as awesome as always, Full of new things to touch and feel and of course purchase. You cant go into Mad Wool and not buy something. Its like putting a kid in a candy shop and saying, just look! No way! <br />
<br />
I'm hoping to teach more classes at Mad Wool this year so keep an eye out here and Madison Wool's website or FB page. <br />
<br />
PS clocks turned back this weekend!! Longer days of light. I love the feeling the first few weeks. Longer days means more time out with my animals, my favorite pass time besides spinning!<br />
<br />

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;">We finally pulled off our international spinning day with the gals from the Netherlands! It was awesome. We met here and made the Skype call at 8 am our time, 2pm Netherlands time. We met some of the most talented women who shared with us information about the most common sheep breeds that are from their area, talked about all the different spinning wheels that each uses. We even had a mini knitting lesson on a beautiful new st. We laughed a lot and became so inspired by these lovely women. I believe we are ALL friends now on FB so we can continue to share and inspire.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"> It all started when Suzy Brown aka Wool Wench and I became friends on FB I admired her work for a long time and one night I decided to write her and ask if she would be interested in a Skype spinning day with our group of spinners and hers? She immediately agreed and we set a date. Well, the first date was cancelled do to unusual snow amounts in the Netherlands. I believe the same happened with the second date except it was us in the US that had the snow. Then it happened this past Tuesday, International Spinning Day! The Netherlands spinners joined the US spinners right here in my living room. It really was spectacular to meet with women of like minds and who were so willing to share from so far away. We agreed to do a skein swap which is going to be a lot of fun. Our girls all have their own fiber animals and farms and are spinning skeins to swap from their own animals. I really hope this can be the beginning of a yearly if not more often meeting between two groups of women who have so much in common and so love the fiber arts. Thank you so much to Suzy Brown, ( Wool Wench ) and to all of the ladies from the Netherlands. Ill see you all again soon..</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">This class is meant to fill the gap between Beginning Spinning and Camp Pluckyfluff! Many students want to learn how to make ‘ art yarn’ ( textured, funky style yarns) right out of the gate. A solid foundation in learning how to spin a basic single and two ply yarn is important. As Pluckyfluff ( Lexi Boeger) says ” you have to learn the rules before you can break them”. These funky yarns are not “bad spinning” as some traditional spinners might think and tell you. They require a technical skill that can be learned and takes practice to execute.</span></div>
