Our family lives at Toby Cottage, nestled on the Ompompanoosuc, a tributary of the Connecticut River in Vermont. Having moved to Vermont in 2013, We turned an old 1850s Dairy Farm that had been out of action for over 70 years, back into a small working farm.
The family consists of: 1x Wife, 1x Husband, 3x Boxers, 14x Alpacas, 16x Chickens, 30x Sugar Maple Trees, 97x trout (unless the herons got some), 802,928x Bees
Toby is our eldest Boxer. He's grey and old and grumpy - but the grumpy isn't because he's grey and old. We rescued him when he was two, and he was old and grumpy even then. Toby, however, is the best dog in the world (apart from Morgan. She's a bit better). Toby is the second best dog in the world. The house and farm are named after Toby - yes, we adore him so.
Anywhoo, that's a bit of background from us. We'll be putting more of our wears up on here as we get time, so don't forget to favorite our shop and check back from time to time - set your google calendar alerts.
It has been nice to meet you,
Dan.
Toby Cottage, VT.

5 out of 5 starsThis is my second skein from Nico’s wool, and it is superb. I love working with it and just finished a scarf as a gift. The colors are rich and the silk gives it just the right amount of gloss and texture. Shipping is very fast. Thank you so much for sharing this yarn with us!

5 out of 5 starsI received my yarn today and stopped every other project to start another with this! I couldn’t wait. Extremely buttery soft and beautiful deep color. Thank you, Nico, for your gorgeous locks.

5 out of 5 starsI am delighted by this yarn. It’s my first time using alpaca, but it’s very easy to work with and super soft. My hat is coming together very nicely. Shipping was very quick. Will be ordering more again soon!
