I’m an enthusiastic cheesemaker and an accidental shepherdess. In my efforts to make better cheese, I purchased 3 Navajo-Churro sheep for milk. Ha! I soon realized that wasn’t going to happen.
No problem! I just changed my focus to spinning the fiber into yarn and I am loving it. I’m still not great at it, but I have improved considerably.
Here on my blog, I’m sharing the details about my sheep, their wool, and how I am preparing the fiber for spinning, felting, and sometimes just for compost!
I originally bought the sheep for milk because I was learning how to make cheese and I had heard that sheep milk makes the best cheese.
