You really have to go so soon? Please stop back again!
  Thank you for visiting The Wren's Nest!  We hope you enjoy yourself and at the least discover something new, if not something you've been looking for.  Sit back and make yourself at home.  



Our Herdwick-cross sheep arrived safe and sound!  "Tupping" (breeding) season is about over and we begin to dream of and pray for the safe and healthy arrival of the first Herdwick cross lambs to arrive here at the Helder~Herdwyck.  Photos of our sheep will follow soon.  Support our Helder~Herdwyc k project and get a chocolate Herdwick sheep, or Herdwick ornament!  


A huge THANK YOU to all who visited our new booth at the NYS Sheep & Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, NY.  Fellow fiber friends ventured in from all areas of the US, which is always a treat, and even from over the border and across the pond!  Thank you so much for stopping by, it was a pleasure to see you and we look forward to seeing you in years to come.  We had a wonderful first year at the "best Fiber Festival on the East Coast."
