Ever since
Thelma was a little girl, she wanted to be self-supporting. Now the family is
living in the church house, she was thinking about getting some sheep. That way
Thelma could make her own clothes from the wool. So she went to a nearby farm.
The farmer showed her he didn’t only have sheep, but also some alpaca’s. “Oh,
those animals are so cute!!” Thelma said.
“And their
wool is the softest of all animals,” the farmer explained. He showed some of
the wool he had sheared the year before. “It’s really soft indeed,” Thelma
said.
Thelma was
convinced and Teun also admitted he really liked the alpacas. What would Toby
and Tibby think?
Of course
the two little ones loved the idea of getting some animals around the house. "They are so soft and cuddly" Tibbe said.
Thelma also
got some of the wool from the farmer, so she could get started right away.
She had an
old spinning wheel she was dying to try out.
Teun decided to make Thelma a loom, so she can weave her own rugs.
Thelma really loves working with wool.
