As I was driving past one of the farms who supply me with wool, I noticed the family were working in the yard, and I decided to visit. To my surprise and delight there were several ewes and lambs in from the fields for welfare checks and handling before the shearers come to relieve the ewes (adult female sheep) of their heavy fleeces.

The lambs stay with their mothers so they are in the pictures but they are not shorn until late next year when they are fully grown.

It was an opportunity to chat with Colin and Nicola as well as one of their children who took great pains to introduce me to each of the ewes and the babies, a lot of them have individual names and all are very well cared for.

The first picture is of Honey who is an older ewe who is very much adored by her young shepherd.

The Damsay flock contain both White Texel and Blue Texel as well as a good Shetland x Cheviot. I hope to bring you wool from each of these lovely breeds through 2026/2027.

Picture shows the end product of the 2025 clip from the Blue Texel Sheep on this farm and I will have some of the Shetland x Cheviot back from the mill very soon as well in a super chunky weight!

I apologise for my lack of posts this week. After an awful migraine at the beginning of the week I was overjoyed to hear the shearer had visited one of my wonderful farms! I then had a nice evening visit to Ava’s Eilean Dubh flock in St Ola, Orkney, to collect the first of the fleeces from the 2026 shearing ready to process for the 2027 spun wool! This wonderful family farm produces both the Blue Faced Leicester that I had for sale this year, and will again next year, as well as a new breed for me, the Cheviot, this wool will be spun for hand knitted socks and jumpers. Keep an eye on the website for further updates. I love being able to visit the farm personally and choose the fleeces by hand. This fleece has now been packaged and is on its way to the mill for processing 😀

A huge thank you to all at Q***r Orcades who organised such a wonderful day. I had the most fun today and it seemed to end all too soon. An extra special thank you to everyone who worked so hard setting up and taking down the marquee, that was a mammoth task! Well done and roll on next year!
This little dog in the photo stole the day ♥️♥️
