We now have a small flock of Icelandic sheep at Dragonfly Farm. Our new arrivals are named Tiny Tim and Mary. They are registered and previously lived at Four Seasons Farm. We are looking forward to our new wooly adventure. We are expecting some fine fleeces for hand spinning this fall. Tiny Tim and Mary join our existing two Icelandic ewes Socks and Mittens. Here are few photos of our new arrivals:
