Keeping Sheep and Other Fiber Animals is a comprehensive and inspiring guide for small-scale fiber farming and wool crafting.

Fiber crafts—such as knitting, weaving, and crocheting—continue to surge in popularity, with sites like Ravelry (a social media community for the wool obsessed) gaining more than six million members. Artists are seeking quality raw materials in greater numbers. The cottage industry of supplying not only raw fleece, but handcrafted yarns, is strong.

Note** This title, Keeping Sheep and Other Fiber Animals, was published by Skyhorse Publishing/Good Living Guide Imprint and authored by Janet Garman. Carried as a product on  Sawdust Publishing sales with permission from Janet Garman. Janet Garman has a small fiber flock (including Pygora fiber goats) and shares her expertise, as well as interviews, tips, and advice from fiber farmers and craftspeople across the country. In these pages, readers will learn the basics of properly raising sheep, goats, llamas, alpacas, and rabbits, with tips on selecting animals, feeding, housing, breeding, and healthcare. From there, instructions are provided for shearing, sorting, skirting, washing, picking, carding, combing, and spinning the wool. Enthusiasts will also find recipes and instructions for natural, plant-based dyes and advice for selling your finished yarn.

In Margarita and the Beautiful Gifts, a kind farmer gives two ducks, Margarita and Jimmy, a place on her farm. Margarita plans to thank the farmer in the only way she can do. But then the gifts go missing! What follows is a romp around the farmyard, and a search party, as the ducks try to keep a secret from the farmer, who is the only one who can help solve the mystery.
