A little about the happenings on our Homestead in West Greenwich RI . What keeps us coming and going ,our interests, hobbies etc You may hear about spinning or preparing fiber, an ETSY shop, musical events, pygora goats and their kids, and the trials of refining my practice as an Occupational Therapist, as I try to juggle it all. We have some 2 legged kids too. When they come back to the nest for a touch down visit, I might include some of that fun :)

About Me
- Elaine
- West Greenwich, RI, United States
- I am an occupational therapist and currently practicing in Early Intervention. I have practiced in a variety of arenas, but working with babies and families is very rewarding to me and I get to play all day ;). After 9/11, I started to realize that if I wanted have my dream of a little homestead "farmette" come true, that I needed to make it happen. I did some research and found out about Pygora goats as a wonderful small farm fiber producing animal. I started raising pygora goats and found them to be fascinating animals that produce luscious fleece. I have been intrigued with spinning since I was a young girl and my parents bought me a toy spinning wheel toy as a child. One thing led to another, and Harmony Homestead was born. I have always had strong interests in creative arts and animals and have found a perfect way to combine the two.

You're very welcome.
It was a such a pleasure knitting up this beautiful skein of your pygora - it is so weightless and feels so delicate, yet it's strong enough to put up with tinking and reknitting when necessary.
I actually like pygora better than the qiviut I've spun and knit in the past, for all it's reputation and fancy price tag. Pygora feels just as warm and lightweight as qiviut and blooms as nicely, but in my opinion pygora has more sheen, more body. It's the most luxurious fiber I've ever worked with.
And I love the piano shot! ~ Iris
