Happy {giveaway} Thursday! I have the cutest handmade business for you to meet today. And you just might fall in love with a little furry friend or two! I’m excited to introduce you to a local Maine business called, Romney Ridge Farm Yarn Co! Romney Ridge Farms is home grown and handmade. They take “Keeping it Local” very seriously. Their wool is 100% Maine grown and they use Maine produced dyes as well. Romney Ridge’s hand dyed yarn is so delicious! Just check out their ombre yarn…..
Isn’t it just beautiful? The ombre hues make me swoon! Thinking I may need to dig out my crochet hook again……wouldn’t it make the great….. wash cloths? {ok, so that’s about the only thing i can crochet…..but still}
Romney Ridge is environmentally friendly. They recycle their dye baths up to 10 times, which reduces water usage and fuel for heating the dye baths. Awesome!!
Meet Kelly: Now you’re probably wondering about the gal behind this colorful business. Her name is Kelly Corbett, and she is a stay at home mom to 3 kiddos. Oh and she dyes 10-20 times each day. {haha} She has a flock of 34 sheep and goats in Woolwich, Maine. And she even has a little yarn shop that you can visit and meet Romeo the Goat.
Another fun product available from Romney Ridge Farm is their new Needle Felting Kits. You can make adorable sheep, rabbits, birds, gnomes, puffin, and more! The kids include all materials, tools, and instructions to make 2-3 animals. {all items in the needle felting kits are made in the USA!}
Love the nubby sheep!

I would name the puffins Humphrey and Zooey.
Oh my gosh, I can’t even believe it! This farm is pretty much right across from the street my father-in-law lives on in Woolwich! When we were visiting last summer, I saw the sign and wanted to stop but their little shop was closed. This is so cool! :)

I would call him H.R. Puffin stuff!
I’d name them Huffin & Muffin ;)
OMG! Those are adorable! I’d have to call the puffin “Atlantic”.
Well, I love having fun little things like toy puffins around. As a preschool teacher, I would probably let my kids name the puffins. They always come up with great names. (Our class pet fish is named Mickey because he has three dots on his tail that look like Mickey Mouse, I would have never come up with that one.)
Oh, he’s SO cute! I would let my daughter make and name the puffin, since she’s the ‘felter’ in our family. But if I made one, I would name him George. :)

A Puffin would just HAVE to have a P name – probably Popper… yes we’ve been watching the movie over here!
Hi! First of all, I would like to know if the sheep don’t suffer any kind of pain during this process of cutting their wool.I avoid any product related to animal abuse.If you could tell me this, I would be very interested.
Secondly, I must say these kits are gorgeous. I would name the puffin JOY! The small one could be Jolly.
Regards, thanks for the lovely emails you send us.
