I just love helping people realize their dreams.

I've been really struggling with how to make a post again. The truth is, I've taken isolation to unintended extremes. I've been focussed on making the best yarns to the exclusion of everything else. It's not that healthy! I am okay. But I do miss the markets and talking about our sheep and yarn. I miss social media (?!) So I've been talking to the dog a lot, he knows all my struggles and he's a great listener. You'll see more of me in 2021. We've been working on some fun new yarns. For now, Happy holidays. Alex

It's #PrairieFibreFestival today in Lacombe! We will not be attending, but you can find some of our yarn and roving there! You can find some beautiful spun-by-us yarns there at Riverside Farm's booth, as well as at the Translucent Fibre/Menagerie booth. Check them out! #shoplocal #fibrefarmer #madeinAB #madeinalberta #albertawool #alpaca #wool #angorarabbit

This year I bought 2 Corriedale lambs to add to our fibre flock. Their names are Bunny and Janet. They live in the back yard currently keeping the grass down and whenever I walk past, I have to pick and give them dandelions to eat. ITS THE RULES! Also, we have our goat kid in there too for company, her name is Nellie.

The sheep are home for a midday siesta in the shade, so I was out looking them over, and this darling bottle lamb came to say hi. Her curls are stunning.
