We have been putting together a Fiber Retreat weekend for you!
We have had a generous invitation by Mark at Sunrise Guest Ranch in Edgemont, SD to see his organically raised sheep and witness a spring shearing! So to make this an acceptable outing, we decided to make a weekend of it, offering classes and spending the night(s) at his GORGEOUS ranch!
(Yes.. that is a Ram standing on the porch. He likes to participate, in everything-- including our tour.)
This is the Guest Ranch Lodge. There are plenty rooms for us to stay in, a HUGE kitchen, and more sheep than we know what to do with. See...
There is a Spinning Wheel in the background there.. He and his Wife are just waiting for us to come, spin, and enjoy his fiber!

Mark's major shearing will be in April,
but he promised to keep a few of the nicest for us to see and feel, still on the sheep. He will shear them for our retreat. Prior sheared Fleeces will be available for purchase when we arrive.
