LICKETY SPIT FIBRE FARM

Guests to our farm will get the opportunity to have guided tours to meet the sheep and alpacas, as well as to see swans, geese, ducks, and a horse. There will be demonstrations of fibre preparation and dyeing, spinning, weaving, and needle felting. There will be plenty of yarn dyeing taking place  - September is an amazing time for harvesting plants to use for dyeing.  We will also be working with our sheep shearer to hold some shearing demonstrations!

Our farm store will be open with a selection of wool and alpaca-related goods such as yarn, roving, socks, soaps, and finished goods, as well as the garlic that we grow.
