Up Up and Away

In an extraordinary twist of fate, I'm headed to Tasmania Australia for the Holidays this year. Perhaps not so unusual that I'd be going to an Island to visit, since the Island life is where I feel most at home. But to go half way round the world to see where our rare breed of sheep, the English Leicester Longwool, originated from some 20 years ago, is rather extreme. That first flock came from The Heazlewood Farm in Whitemore, TAS. Now in the United States we have a total of 325 ewes and close to 80 rams. This Christmas I celebrate with the "Keeper's of the Flock" and I am honored to be able to share and learn from them.

Blessings to you All,  Lisa Longwool Gal

Tasmania Bound

On the verge on leaving for Tasmania Australia. This will be a trip of a lifetime for me. The rare wooly English Leicester flock in the United States was restored by sheep from this farm, Heazlewood Farm, Whitemore. 

I look forward in sharing with you what I've experienced on this journey, both sheep related and in the realm of fiber arts. On December 29th, I will be honoured by my hosts at a sheep and wool roundup that will gather several island sheep breeders and fiber artists. My presentation will feature my flock and the seasonal changes and challenges of New England.

 

Stay Tuned.
