Caroline and I went out to Tonopah, Arizona today, it’s shearing time for the sheep at Chile Acres. Following Caroline sharing the joys of working with wool with Celia (co-owner of Chile Acres with Jimmy Peterson – her husband) a new animal found its way on the farm – sheep. Much of the wool is sold within minutes of it coming off the sheep to the dozen or so fellow fiber freaks who’ve driven out here just for this special event. What’s left will find its way into being made into felted objects, some will be spun into yarn and sold at the Downtown Phoenix Public Market where Jimmy and Celia sell their various farm products. Caroline and I simply leave with smiles.
