It's still winter here and the sheep are still being fed, but there's a little bit of time between chores to get some weaving done. Here's a tapestry that Molly is making with natural and hand-dyed Churro yarn from our flock. As you can see in the photos below, our Churro sheep produce a variety of natural grey, tan, and white fleeces. One of the defining characteristics of Churro wool is that it takes dyes well, producing beautiful, rich, lustrous colors like the ones in the weaving below.
