We had a wonderful weekend at the MD sheep & wool festival. If you visited our booth to buy yarn, a bag or a mug, asked questions about our flock, or stopped by just to say hello- Thank you! Your love & enthusiasm for our sheep & their small batch yarn has been felt in a big way. #knitsky #mswf

Here’s some happy sheep to brighten your day! I turned our flock out on new grass this morning. To see them so happy makes me smile. 😊

Here’s Magnolia, today’s sheep of the day! Magnolia and I are headed out on the road bright and early tomorrow morning as she has a date with a ram! With any luck, she will be a first time mom this fall. 🤞❤️🐑❤️ Wish her luck! 🍀 #merinosheep #sheepfarm

Our sheep of the day is Martha, twin sister of Mary our last sheep of the day! Martha is just as sweet as her sister, but a tad bit shy. She too loves a good chin scratch after her sister has had her turn. 🥰 I can tell the two sisters apart by the little spots on Martha’s nose. #merino #yarnfarm

Our sheep of the day is Mary! Of all of our flock members, Mary is the sweetest, gentlest soul. She will walk up to me and drop her head, asking for a chin scratch. I’m pretty sure she would sit with me all day if I let her. ❤️ #sheep #merinosheep #sheepfarm #merino

A little bit later than I would have liked, but I finally mulched our garlic bed using our waste wool. Beautiful to look at and as the wool decomposes it, along with the manure and VM that’s in it, will feed the Earth 🌎 #lovewool #woollover #sheepwillsavetheplanet #organicgardener

I’m really behind in “sheep of the day” posts. Life keeps getting in the way and the state of the world is bringing me down… so it’s very fitting to share Winnie Woolybuns as the sheep of the day! I can always count on her to put a smile on my face. I hope she gives you a smile today too! #merino

Sweetpea is our sheep of the day! She is the daughter of Felicity and she lives up to her name. She is definitely one of the sweetest members of our flock, she craves attention and loves a good chin scratch! 🥰 #sheep #merinosheep #sheepfarm #yarnfarm #blacksheep

Holly is today’s sheep of the day! She is the first daughter born to Ivy, yesterday’s featured sheep. Her personality is much like her mom’s- she is a leader, not a follower. She also inherited her mom’s jet black, dense fleece. It’s a stunner! #blacksheep #merinosheep #snowday #sheep #merino

Renninger Wool Co. @renningerwoolco.bsky.social · 19/02/2025

Today’s sheep of the day is Ivy! Twin sister of Ms. Pickles, Monday’s featured sheep. Ivy is without a doubt the leader of our flock. Always the first to investigate a noise in the distance or to see what I’m up to. Her jet black fleece is 🤩 #merinosheep #yarnfarm #merino #merinoyarn #smallfarm

Ms. Pickles is our sheep du jour! You might be wondering how she got her name. Well, my husband didn’t believe me when I said I wanted to name her Pickles, and so I made it a bit fancy and gave her a title. The name fits her perfectly, she’s sweet and sassy all in one. 😂 #sheep #merino #blacksheep

Here’s Purl, today’s sheep of the day and the very first white sheep to join our flock. While Purl is a very friendly, easygoing sheep, she is the only member of my flock who would NOT be halter trained! 😂 continued in comments… 🧶 #shepherd #sheepfarm #yarnfarm #yarnie #yarnsky #knitsky #merino

Fiona is today’s featured sheep! She joined our flock in 2019 with Felicity- whose personality couldn’t be any more different. Fiona is the shyest member of our flock, often off by herself. She hangs back and lets the others get bored of me and then comes looking for a chin scratch! #merino #knitter

Today’s flock spotlight is Felicity. In 2019, Felicity was one of the first Merinos to join our flock. Since then she has become the voice of the flock, always first to call out hello when she spots me on my way to the barn. Once jet black, her wool is now a lovely silver. 🧶 #merinosheep #knitsky

Many of you are new to RWCo. so I thought I would take the next few weeks to introduce you to our flock! I must start with Rosie, a crossbreed & the oldest in our flock. She has a very laid back personality- I like to say that she keeps the class clown Merinos in line! 😂 🧶 #yarnfarm #knitter #sheep

Thank you everyone who shared a pattern suggestion! I have added quite a few favorites to my Ravelry queue. I’m going to wind up some yarn and knit a few gauge swatches to see what fabric I get on a few different sized needles. I’ll report back on what I decide to knit! Have a great weekend! 🧶

History Part 6: In this image is Homer Gomer, the 1st lamb born on our farm. Born 12/24/21 I have come to realize that it is REALLY hard to tell a story in 300 characters, so today’s post will be the last of the story. Continued in comments… #merinosheep #sheepfarm #merino #pennsylvania

History Part 5: In 2018 we bought the land that is now our farm, broke ground in 2019 & we moved in 2020. At the time we had 5 sheep, and have slowly grown our flock to 18. Our sheep rotationally graze over 6 acres, during the grass growing months. Continued in comments… #sheepfarm #yarnfarm

Felicity & Fiona are still a part of our flock. Felicity is usually the first to call to me when she sees me outside. Fiona is much more reserved, she hangs back & waits for the others to get bored with me & then comes to me for a chin scratch. 😊 #merinosheep #sheep #yarnfarm #merino

History Part 4: After ~2 years of owning sheep, I was hooked! Their gentle demeanor & fun personalities had me wanting more. Once again Dave had an idea! One day he asked why we didn’t own any Merino sheep, since most of the yarn I was knitting with was Merino. Continued in comments…

Part 3 history: when I received my first batch of yarn back from the mill, I knew I needed to share it with other crafters. I named it Ropollo, a mashup of Rosie & Apollo, the sheep whose wool went into the yarn. My first knit from it was the Georgetown cardi, by Hannah Fettig. 🧶 #knitsky #knitter

Part 2 history: As a knitter, I was a bit obsessed with learning all that I could about wool & how it went from being on the sheep to becoming yarn. My husband suggested we buy a sheep so that I could learn first hand what goes into producing yarn. Apollo & Rosie began my journey into 🧶 #knit #Yarn
