This is Kahlua and her baby, Curaçao.  Kahlua played on the milking stand as a yearling and now is quite demanding about the corn for milk exchange. I have weaned the ram lamb from Kahlua but left the ewe lamb on her so I’m not getting much milk from her. The value of going through the motions is in what it’s teaching curaçao. Already she is hopping on the stand. No fear. That’s our goal.

Navajo-Churro wool rug - all fiber from our own sheep. Processed by hand here at Red Feather Ranch. This rug is plushy and the natural luster of the sheep shines through. This rug was made with white fiber from Cliffhanger and Cinch, and dark fiber from Escalade lamb fleece. 
 

We wash our raw wool exclusively with "Wash and Dye Bastard" shampoo from Namaste Farms. This cleans the wool without pulling out all the oils and stripping it of its natural luster. 
 

At Red Feather Ranch we use the wool from our sheep for weaving wraps, scarves, purses, and rugs.  Processing and using our fiber helps our breeding program because it allows us to get a better feel for what kind of fleece is best for handspinning. 
 

Here are some of our fall and winter projects.
