Every September, I buy wool at the Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival's parking lot sale, where local farmers sell whole, unprocessed fleeces.
Today I got to visit some of the sheep, themselves, at an open house held by Distracted Acres, a Yamhill County farm.
Visitors viewed recently-shorn moms, plenty of lambs, and a felting demonstration, while enjoying conversation and home cooking.
My day was complete when I met an elderly Border Leicester ewe who holds the special status of "retiree."
