If you’re new here — welcome. This video explains what this channel is about, how sheep, wool, spinning, and Majacraft wheels all fit together, and where to start if you want to catch up.

I’m Jennifer Johnson, and this channel follows life on our small fiber-focused farm in western New York, where we raise Shetland sheep for very fine wool, process that wool for handspinners, and share in-depth, evergreen educational content about our sheep and their wool— including detailed videos on Majacraft spinning wheels.

You’ll find two main types of content here:
• Farm life with Shetland sheep — decisions, shearing, rooing, wool evaluation, and fiber farming
• Spinning and wool processing — from raw fleece to finished yarn, plus structured, instructional videos on Majacraft wheels, accessories, and long-term use

In this video, I also share a flock update, what’s coming in 2026, progress on our new farm building, Majacraft updates, upcoming fiber festivals, and a bit of making along the way.

I created this playlist as a companion to this video, if you want to watch videos I mention that round out the story - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5054oSmYb1sxR-gUioXH-SNBYuW_iOlx&si=FK52iycCWtfYRhZW
