Expansion!
We are expanding! We are just beginning to expand the barn to allow space for new equipment. This should enable us to get our backlog down to a more reasonable time frame. A ball-winder is planned as well as a water re-cycler which should save us up to 40% of each wash load of water.

Holy Rain!
The NH Sheep and wool festival was quite a success for us. Number one, we survived the rain that weekend and in a pop up camper at that! Nobody floated away, although the kids tried really hard a few times. Concord, NH got 7 inches of rain over the weekend. Number two, we got our name on the waiting list for next year so maybe you can see us in our own booth! Thanks to all who braved the high waters and made it to the show. If we don't see you next year in our own booth, we will be there with
Chris Morgan again.

Roving Bump Winder!
We have just installed a center pull bump winder on our carder. This is a great little tool to package the roving in wonderfully neat and compact bumps. It doesn't roll around the floor when you are spinning, or get mashed up inside a bag. It seems that the roving keeps in storage for several years, as long as the bugs don't get to it. For those of you who resale the roving, it make a great presentation. The cost to make the bumps is a mere $1/lb extra.
