June is finally here!  We have had lovely weather and things are proceeding nicely at Elmlea Farm.  Gardens in, animals sheared....babies growing and of course the store is filled with yarns, batts, rovings and more!

Today I am featuring 2 Antique Wool Winders for sale.  You use this item as it suggests to wind wool into a skein!  AS you will see from the pictures they are antiques.  I am asking $ 80.00 a piece.

 

In other news I have two male goats for sale, bucklings, Jake born in March out of Jill a Nigerian Dwarf and Omar an Angora.  Jake is a very shiny, very black boy who is quite funny, He loves to jump and play and generally just have a great time.  He is $ 150.00

The other buckling is Jerry.  Jerry's mother is Lucy a Pygora cross and his father was Jack a Nigerian Dwarf, like Jill.  Jerry's fibre has a lovely crimp to it and he also appears to be taking after the pygmy side and staying smaller.  You can see his size from the picture of him standing on our Olde English Babydoll Southdown, Liz.  Poor Liz not only her own baby Mick is on her but a goat too!  Jerry has a sweet nature and would be a easier keeper.  He is very use to being handled and would make a great companion, breeding, weeding and or fibre goat!  He is truly multi-functional!  He is 
$ 300.00.

 Along with these cuties, Mary our Angora had a baby girl Macy.  Macy is pure white and is quite the contrast to these two!  Macy will be staying here on the farm.  There are also two bucklings, that are Nigerian/Pygora crosses and would make excellent companion animals!  Louis and Jerry are both friendly and are ready too go.
