I also got to try spinning some wool while I was there---the yarn came out lumpy, bumpy and twisted when I gave it a whirl, but it was still fun. Like knitting, once you get the hang of it, it's probably pretty relaxing.

Sheep
I got to watch sheep shearing this weekend! I believe the sheep below is a Corriedale; she chubbed up some during the winter (don't we all?), but look at that fleece! I just wanted to jump right in, it looked so soft. It felt soft too, thanks to all that lanolin in the wool -- just like hand cream! (Albeit, sheep-scented hand cream.)
