Newly born kids
This weekend was the wool and shearing event at Baylham House Rare Breeds Farm and it rained all day Saturday. Quite a different day on Sunday, sun and warmth.
Spinners from Mid-Essex and Diss guilds took part on Saturday and Diss and Lavenham on Sunday. We spun some fleece newly sheared from Ouessant, Grey-faced Dartmoor, Llanwenog and Norfolk Horn sheep and knitted up a few squares from the yarn.
Visiting children had a go at felt making - mats and little balls. Not many visitors on Saturday but lots on Sunday and they were all very interested in the animals (especially the Kune Kune piglets and the baby goats born on Sunday morning) and the demonstrations by guild members.
We were very well looked after with plenty to eat and drink.
