Meet Minwawe Pearl

This is my pretty Pearl!  I love this ewe...everything about her.  She is a little shy but not too bad, but otherwise I can't find anything that I don't like about her.  She is from Meadowwoods in Missouri and is by Minwawe Hopalong and out of Minwawe Buttons.  She will be three years old this spring and gave me the beautiful fawn katmoget ewe lamb Opal is past year.  She is bred to Minwawe Bahama.  She is looking big so I am thinking she will twin this year, her second lambing.  If so, at least one of her lambs will be available for sale.  If you like Pearl as much as I do, you might want to call dibs on a lamb, as I would expect hers to be among the first to be spoken for.

Meet Mapleton Carmel Apple

Meet the flock:  2009 ewe lamb
~ Mapleton Carmel Apple ~
 Out of Twin Springs Cotton Candy and by High Bid Kermit.  NFS
"Carmel" was exposed to Mapleton Rip Tide before he was sold, so she might be bred for March or April lambs.  She a triplet and full sibling to Cooper who was sire to Peep, Zeus, and Libby (you will meet them another day).  The rich color, handle, luster, and crimp to her fleece when you part it makes you say "wow that's lovely".  She is wonderfully built and has Kermit's most perfect tail that he stamps on all his offspring.

Meet the Flock Series: Mapleton Destiny

"Dessie"

I thought I'd do a meet the flock series here on my sales blog so you can see the rest of lambs I got last year and meet my foundation flock.  The 2009 lamb above is NOT for sale...but her parents were bred together again so I might get another one like her.  Dessie was not bred this year but will be as a yearling. She is a black and white flecket out of Minwawe Serendippity and by Minwawe Bahama.  She is the sweetest thing!  She is the twin to Mapleton Rip Tide.  Her mom lost her half her udder to a bout with mastitis so her siblings might be bottle lambs.  If you are willing or able to raise a bottle lamb this spring, please let me know and I can keep you posted.  It might be a great opportunity to get a fantastic lamb at a discounted price.

Mapleton Mill Spun Yarn!

It has arrived.  All are sport weight, 2 ply, 150 yards, 4 ounce Alpaca wool blend skeins.  The wools are brown and black Shetland, white Cheviot, and the Grey my Corriedale cross.  Pricing is to me determined...it was pricey to have done...so I am try to figure out a fair price that still covers my cost and makes it worth parting with.  Suggestions welcome.  I do have a vendor number but yet to put it to any use.  Someday I will have to get to a farmers market or fiber festival.  For know I will begin by having a family and friends sale, if you have any interest please let me know.
