We are one step closer to being able to process our wool. Mike found the last piece of equipment we need to get things up and running, a wool picker!
Unfortunately, it was in Maine, about a 15 hour trip one way! But, this kind of machinery is not something that is easy to find. So he jumped at the chance when he found this for sale. It was a rough trip but he made it home safe and sound!
We are now the proud owners of a 1914 Davis and Furber Wool Picker.
AWESOME!!!!!!!! Sooooo lucky!! Can't wait to see all your processed fiber!

Thanks!!
DeleteCongrats on the wool picker.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteAwesome!!! I'd love to be able to but I just don't have the room or the money for the equipment yet. Can't wait to see your wool.
ReplyDeleteIt does take up some room! Thankfully we have a big enough shop area.
DeleteWow.. good for you.. I so love your sheep pictures and your header is gorgeous..
ReplyDeleteHappy "Fall...
Thanks Faye, it is good to see you!
DeleteHow exciting for you! I'm not sure what a wool picker is, but I hope you will blog about it. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, we will be doing some post as we get things up and running.
DeleteOh that IS a long trip! Congrats - that is exciting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa,
DeleteI wish we could find things closer, but it always seems to involve a road trip!
Oh you will definitely have to do a show and tell!
ReplyDeleteyes, when it is all up and running. It has been a slow work in process.
DeleteI'm so happy for you! What an amazing find. Now I know where to bring my wool. Just kidding! You will be up to your ears in wool, I'm sure.
ReplyDelete:) Thanks Kris! We are hoping that someday we will be able to process other peoples wool :)
