More Cheviot

 ITW February 2025 Club Colorway "Woe's Hollow" Grey Cheviot.

 


 


 


 

Last month I received "Midnight Poutine" Superwash Cheviot and currently I am spinning "Silent Supper", also Cheviot, from July 2024 (Into the Whirled Fiber Club).

Wary Birds

I keep trying to get a nice flock photo of the Band-tailed pigeons. They won't let me.

Refresh Again

 My poor neglected yogurt, again.

 

 

 Fortunately, November's batch still looks okay - not pink, gray, or fuzzy. phew

 

 

Making yogurt is going to take two days. A day to refresh the culture and a day to make yogurt using the refreshed culture.

Today is just to feed and coax the yogurt. At the end of today I will (hopefully) end up with floating bits of happy yogurt.

Whole milk steamed in the Instant Pot for 1 minute.

 


 

 Cool down to 116 - 118° before adding one tsp of the previous (November) yogurt.

 

 

Back in the Instant Pot for eight hours.

 


 

Eight hours later I have a wee bit of happy culture that I will use to coax tomorrow's batch of yogurt.
