Here are the numbers on a few yearlings; the rest will be sent off soon. Though I couldn't care less about what a machine tells me, it's a scientific, hard-fact reference for what my fingers are feeling. And it gives anyone who's not able to touch the sheep some objective data, rather than relying on what one person says their hands are feeling - because everyone has their personal soft, very soft, not-so-soft, silky, and all those other subjective, general terms. I'm glad the SD's are pretty low (silky/ smooth fiber), and they all spin finer than the actual micron (feel softer than they really are in numbers). Tango was the biggest surprise, as she was born with a hairy bithcoat (look at the picture at the top of the blog) that she didn't shed out, and yet is the finest in micron so far.

If you are selling Arabesque or Toccata please let me know. Thanks. Karen
Hi Karen,
Arabesque is staying for now, but Toccata may be available later this year - like I said, Tango & Toccata are very similar, so it will be a hard decision.
If you end up selling Toccata please do let me know. I'll be at WI Sheep & Wool and could pick her up there if you are attending. Thanks.
