Good Morning Friends!

Ah, its February 2nd, folks – Groundhog Day! Woke up this morning to Punxsutawney Phil poppin' out of his burrow like a furry alarm clock, squintin' at his shadow, and declarin' six more weeks of winter.

Six more weeks? That's music to my ears! Over in the barn, T (short for "Tornado") is already high-fivin' the critters. "More snow means more folks freezin' their tails off, and that means more orders for our cozy buffalo wool socks, scarves, and blankets! We just gotta get stuff made...

We're gonna be busier than a one-armed paperhanger in a blizzard!"Then there's Piggy Wrangler – yeah, you heard right, our resident hog handler who moonlights as the farm's comedian. (Don't ask why we have pigs on a wool ranch; they keep us entertained with their oinks and mud wrestling, Piggy Wrangler's out there dancin' with her swine squad, hollerin', "Six more weeks? That's six more excuses to hog the hot cocoa!

The crew's buzzin' like bees on espresso: Stacy and Paula are packing orders as fast as they can. ol' Clint's shearin' like a madman, trying to get us enough fiber to make it through 2026, and the critters, they are loving the extra feed and attention.

Bottom line: Six more weeks of winter? Bring it on! It'll keep us spinnin', knittin', and grinnin' all the way to spring. If you're feelin' the chill, hit up The Buffalo Wool Co. – we've got your back (and your toes) covered. Stay warm, friends!

Welcome to the work week, it's pretty short today just a couple of things to share from friends and family, we really have a whole lof of stuff to pack and get on the road to y'all, and I am gonna go out and dye more of the red socks... those blew up AGAIN. We also have more of the Pure Prairie Socks on the needles that will be here this week, and a couple of other somewhat fun things.

Have a great week, from Ron, T, Piggy Wrangler, and the crew here at the BWC.

this showed up in the mailbox on Saturday, and it's pretty flipping awesome. Shiner for scale, but the pic really doesn't do it justice. It's much prettier than my bad phone pic. I love it.
