Estes Park Wool Market

Our local fiber festival is up at Estes Park every June, and seeing as how we were still living in Portland this time last year, this was our inaugural visit. Each tent/barn was divided by fiber animal - goats, sheep, llamas, alpacas and sharing a bit of space with the sheep were the angora bunnies.

While we were mingling with with the animals, Stinker was trying desperately to break out and join us. Little did he know we had a surprise in store for him.


This isn't exactly the most graceful of poses, but considering that it was well over 80 degrees, I don't think this ewe minded losing her winter sweater.


Check out the locks on these guys. Curls for the girls, as my old friend Susan used to say.


...and did I mention we added another four barely discernible legs to the family? We're officially outnumbered.
