My Girls
The Girls have been here a little over a week now, and are doing very well. They seemed to take to Doug very quickly -their previous shepherd was a man. I've been able to feed three of the four out of my hand now. The shy one is my little badger face lamb, Anemarie, and she gets a bit closer every day. I love them all dearly, and you can see what happened when I set the snack bucket down to take a photo.
Their fiber is wonderful. I've spun up a little skein of a couple of them so far, and it's next-to-skin soft. They're CVM (a variation of Romeldale), a rare breed. While I don't aspire to shepherd a huge herd, I do hope that the breed will become more familiar to spinners & knitters. It's scrumptious. And The Girls are a delight.

I've one spun one small sample of CVM and I agree that every spinner and knitter should become familiar with it. It's on my definite "must get again" list. Your Girls are lovely. Lucky you.
Oh, I'm so glad everyone is getting along well! They are alot of fun, aren't they :-) T.
What cute babies. I have never had the opportunity to spin CVM so I am looking forward to seeing closeups of the fleece when you have it.
