Sheepstock 2020!

We've missed wandering around Summer craft fairs and Fall festivals, which have all transitioned to virtual experiences due to COVID-19. While we may not have gathered on the great lawn up at the Common Ground Country Fair, we CAN make ways to safely commune on a smaller scale.
Come friends, and enjoy some of the offerings of Fall in person! We're hosting a Fall Sale Event on Saturday, October 17 with micro-appointments at our Baaarn and in our Dooryard!!

On her farm in Woolwich, ME, Gates raises Gotland sheep. Gotlands are known for their luxurious wool. Soft curls and a silky coat make for wool that is soft and light with a lustrous shimmer. The herd is shorn twice a year for their amazing fleeces. The harmony and connection between farmer, animal, and the land is deeply respected and nothing goes to waste. Gates has the pelts tanned by a low-chemical operation in Vermont to ensure quality for years of use.

The pelts range in a variety of colors from ivory to dark silver grey, from chocolate brown and the rare true black. 

What do I do with a sheep pelt you may ask yourself. Oh, so much! Drape one on your sofa for an extra dose of cozy while curling up with a book. Lay one across your lap by the campfire. They make a great spot to do morning stretches or yoga. A soft, ethically-grown pelt is a wonderful addition to shorter days and cooler nights.
