Pumpkin is the first cria born on our farm. She lost her mom when she was two months old, so we bottle fed her for four months. She has grown up to be a sweet but strong-willed girl who loves kisses and neck scritches and, on a halter, will happily lead you wherever she wants to go. Sadly, leading HER requires an effort in persuasion and patience.
Pumpkin‘s fleece is a hand spinner’s dream: long staple length, uniform fineness, buttery soft handle and luster throughout. At the 2021 Suri Network Fleece Show Spin Off, Pumpkin posted the highest score, finishing ahead of 35 other entries.
We bred Pumpkin to 2022 AOA National Supreme Champion, WLK Star Dancer, for a spring 2022 cria. Star Dancer’s Pumpkin Patch arrived July of 2022 weighing 16 lbs and with gossamer fine fleece and “burn-your-eyes-out” luster.
Pumpkin is not for sale, but her fiber is: check out our Etsy Shop to see what is available.
