life is too short to dry yarn conventionally. Next time someone asks, “Why is your car filled with yarn?” – just smile and say, “It’s my mobile yarn spa!” 🧶✨ #woollymammalsfarmstead #yarnlife #handspunartyarn

🐤🪽there you are, caught in a moment of avian betrayal🙅. Your finger, 👉 once a beacon of goodwill, 🕊️ now bears the mark of the guinea hen’s disapproval🫸. It’s like a tiny, feathery critic saying, “Your friendship? Not finger-lickin’ good! 🐤🪶🥚

🦙 🏅 we had a successful weekend at the Carolina alpaca celebration and parade. 🎖️ Pegi one of our eldest alpacas came home with 3 gold ribbons. 🏆 she may be old but she’s still got it! 🥇 🦙

☀️ Basking in the sun ☀️

I wish I could always come home to a box full of chicks!

I learned so much at SAFF this year! I have some new novelty yarn ideas as well as some felting ideas. Check back soon to check them out!

Tess had so much fun showing Samson “Sam” the Ram and our new bucks at SAFF. This was her first time in the show arena, we are so proud of her! She learned a lot about showmanship and qualities the judges are looking for. We hope to keep improving with every show. One of our new angora bucks won 2nd place for the yearling buck division! He is a white goat competing in a colored competition, so him winning 2nd is huge! I see great things in his future.

Sometimes you have to flip a ram to show it who’s boss. 🤠🫸🐏

It appears that Pleti (our new Shetland ewe) isn’t a fan of men…. Or people for that matter. 😆

Our new Shetland ewe, Pippa, is so fluffy!! She is the sweetest girl I’ve ever met. 🐑

Meet Pippa, Pleti and Samson, Woolly Mammal’s first Shetland sheep and our first male livestock! Pippa is a joy to interact with, she loves to be pet and loved on. Pleti is not so sure about us yet. Samson is a sweet heart, but he is a young ram with a lot of testosterone ahead of him. His fleece is super fine and wonderful! We are hoping to have spring babies!

Momma and baby bonding time. So sweet 🥹 what a good momma.

First few steps, she will nail it next time!

A little confusion between alpacas 😳🤦‍♀️

Good job mama! Pumpkin is beautiful, she’s still figuring out her surroundings.

Pumpkin is all legs! 🦙

Sibling rivalry translates in every species 🤫🤭

Whoops! 😅

Cuteness overload! Pumpkin’s glamour shots

We appologize for not posting in a while, We had a really busy difficult month with health issues on the farm. Where there is darkness there is always light…Meet Pumpkin, our first alpaca born at Woolly Mammals Farmstead! We were told that her mother Peggi, was not pregnant so it was a complete surprise! We are thankful that Peggi has been an excellent mother. She birthed pumpkin on august 21st without any issues and has been so loving and protective. Pumpkin’s sister Papaya, is beyond excited dancing all over the pasture! Both momma and baby are doing well. More pictures to come!

The babies are getting their first shave. They did so well!

🌺 Breaking news! There is a new flower called the tuna habiscus! Our farmstead is lucky enough for it to grace us with its presence, for everyone far and near to bask in its scent. 🌺 🤢

The quail are hatching!

Capone’s first day on the job! So far he would much rather be cuddled inside by humans and chase the goats rather than protect them. He’s got a lot to learn! Bonnie will whip him into shape in no time. We are so proud of our maremma workin’ boy!

We had a welcomed visitor on the farm this morning

The bees are cooling themselves off in this hot weather we’ve been having.

Quail are now a part of Woolly Mammals farm. Can’t wait to try some quail eggs!

The grass is always greener

First day letting the eldest babies free to roam without a fence. They were very curious.

Baby thinks he’s hiding. He didnt feel like being groomed today.

These adorable fluffy German angora kits are ready to find their forever home. ❤️ *angora rabbits need to be brushed weekly, sheared every 2-3 months and exercised daily. They are also larger rabbits and will need a cage/hutch that will fit them appropriately. They also can be litter box trained. PM for details, more than happy to hand hold and answer questions!

Up close and personal

Happy Mother’s Day to all the momma mammals out there! Human or animal one thing stands: there’s someone that cherishes all the support and love you give them every day. Moms are super hero’s, Strong and protective. Keep up the good work, the world would be in shambles without you!

First attempt making roving, spinning and dying. It’s getting better every practice session! My favorite is bulky art yarn in jewel or neon tones. I also enjoy the natural, minimally processed yarn. My specialty is roving, keep your eyes open for new products! (Pictures not for sale, they are experimental to better future products.)

Feeding frenzy
