Yes, our winters are mild. They have a barn they can go into out of the weather.
Thanks gals for all of your compliments & no I do not spin the wool. Shoot I would then have to live to be 150 or so with all I have to accomplish. I have 20 grandkids & 6 children & my goal is to make all of them a quilt. So if I took up spinning I wouldn't be able to sew. I have had the wool made into battings for my quilts. Hope it works for them.
