The big news was the arrival of our alpaca scarves made from our mill spun alpaca yarn by a mill in Mass. 100% made in the USA they are 72 to 76 inches long! I just love all the stitching on these, yarn overs, to make it open for a bit of a lace look, garter stitch border to give it good shaping, cables, which I love and they are extra long! I'm very happy with the way they came out and just in time for the holidays along with our alpaca gloves. The colors are bark brown and fawn. They go into the shop today.
I have needle felting pumpkins and some adorable acorns (below), some with real acorn tops. I had a needle felting class here in the shop and the girls went home with a completed pumpkin, a few acorns and enough wool to needle felt another pumpkin! Everyone was happy, happy, happy!
In honor of the time of year you can see who else visited this week! Tom and his friends....They simply hung around the driveway for a while, then over by our hay barn. Then off they gobbled up into the woods! They seem to take the same route each day now so they have become daily visitors to the farm. I love when they come it just screams fall! Fall being a favorite of mine.
I have only just begun to stuff glass ball ornaments with hand dyed sheep wool, sparkles and some angeline for twinkle. My plans are another dozen or so. A little keepsake from the farm if you visit us around the holidays. Each year they can be hung on your tree and you'll think of all of us at Dream Come True Farm! Hope to see you soon. Open most Sundays 11-3 unless we have a family commitment. And as always open by appointment anytime, just give us a ring. Happy Fall from all of us at the farm
