Make sure to visit Calluna Farm Studios at the Olde Liberty Fibre Faire
in Bedford, Virginia this weekend!
I will be sharing a space “inside” with the Leicester Longwool Ladies.
I will have a large selection of my one of a kind handspun yarns sale.
And demonstrate spinning – space permitting.
Enjoy a celebration of dyeing, felting, spinning, weaving, knitting, crocheting and
all things fibre-related.

10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Bedford Lion’s Club Community Center
1577 E. Lynchburg-Salem Turnpike

Our Fiber Flock is starting! Last week we visited with Bev at  Ore Hill Farm Alpacas. What a wonderful breeding facility; clean, organized and over 400 alpacas! It took all our restraint to not bring home 20 young “fiber boys” – we do have 5 due to arrive on Calluna Farm just before Christmas.

Our goal is for 3 Leicester Longwool Sheep, 5 Alpacas, and 2 Mohair goats… Guess we’ll have to add a Llama to guard them…
The horses are starting to wonder if this is still a horse farm…

Once a favorite of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, the Leicester Longwool sheep are now classified as a “rare breed”.
