"Here
is the leaf lace shawl I knit [photos above]: one single of light gray CVM (from Heidi's fleece) dyed moss green, and a single
of multi-colored silk plyed together." --Wanda . "I received Ivy's [CVM] fleece today and absolutely love it! It is exactly
as you described and even prettier than your pictures, so I can hardly wait to steal time to process it for the fine lace
projects which are its destiny. Lovely packaging, great service, excellent fleece: doing business doesn't get
any better than working with you! Thanks very much," --Linda . .
"This is a yarn that I did after seeing an exhibit
of Monet's "white" paintings [from Harriet's Romney fleece last year]. Harriet's fleece [just arrived
and] is drop dead gorgeous!!!! I am so excited to get this beautiful fleece again - give her an extra hug for me...." --Brenda
. "Just wanted you to know I received Inniah's [Romney] fleece today and washed
up a bit. It truely has to be one of the loveliest fleeces I have bought from you. My fingers are itchy to spin some of it
up. Thank you again for your kind service, I look forward to buying some more of your flock's fine fleeces. A happy customer"

| Cara's finished sweater |
"I wanted to send you along a picture of a sweater I made from two of
your girls fleeces (Hope and Faith, plyed together) that I bought a while back. It is SO cozy and I wear it often. I
love to tell people the names of the sheep that grew this wonderful wool. The brown tips are still visible and add character.
I have spun all the fleece I got from you but not knit the rest into anything yet....was thinking about a sending it out to
be woven into a blanket...we'll see. I'll keep an eye out for your fleeces in the spring...." --Cara "This fleece
is absolutely beautiful... so clean, what a colour and very uniform in colour. I love it.... Thanks again for
your kindness and excellent service...." --Jean "I just received
the fleece and it is really beautiful! And clean!!! Wow, did you give her a bath before shearing her?!!! I can't wait to bring
it to my spinning group and show off my latest great buy." --Stacey "Boy, is that fleece I just bought from you,
off of "Erasmus" nice. It is hard to tell from a photo sometimes, it looked nice on my monitor but even
better in person...I will definitely be buying more from you in the future! Thanks!" --Michael . .

| Harlan's 2008 fleece spun by Judi. |
|
| Judi's shawl from Harlan's fleece - how beautiful! |
"The CVM has been amazing to work with. It's easy to drum card and spin.
It has so much "bounce" it makes incredibly spongy batts. It's easy to card and spin. It spins up into
fine or worsted weight yarn quite easily and is suitable for any garment from lace to aran. It's soft enough for next
to the skin wear. It takes dye easily and beautifully. The yarn has elasticity and loft. A spring in it that makes
it very easy to work with. It's become my very favorite fleece." --Judi -

| Geode's fleece dyed and spun by Kris. |

| Kris's sweater made of Geode's and Fallon's 2007 fleece - see yarn above right. |
"... the fleece is here! It is gorgeous. It looks good, smells good, and my cat is definitely
interested in the box! I’m not sure I want to share any of it with students :-) the luster is INCREDIBLE. My husband
is going to take one look and say, 'I want a sweater out of THAT.'
Once again, thank you for a wonderful fleece. It is going to be a joy to scour, pick, card, spin and knit. I was telling
one of my sisters that I love every step of the process. They think taking a “dirty” fleece and cleaning it, etc
etc sounds like a nasty job. Not nasty if the fleece comes from Dee..." --Kris
"After washing about 1/3 of Elias' fleece, I am even more impressed. When I washed the first
bit right after the fleece arrived, I did not take the time to unpack the entire fleece and do a full survey, but now I have,
and I will have to say that this is the most beautiful wool I have handled. I had a novice spinner here today and she
helped with the washing. I am afraid she has been given a very erroneous view of wool and is doomed to be disappointed
with every fleece she sees from now on." --Nola
"I'm
slow getting my reply to you, but I love Delilah's fleece. It is so lovely to look at and wonderful to spin! Thank you, thank
you, thank you." --Janice
"Woohoo, Hatcher's fleece arrived today. I've opened the box up
to let it breathe, thanks for the tip. It is beautiful! I can't wait to prepare and spin it." --Samantha
"The fleeces arrived and they are breath-takingly BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Love them both -they are so clean
- and the pictures of the sheep are a really great extra." --Brenda
