Fiber Artist Rachel Peck has been very busy! In addition to being the mother of 8 children and running her shop: My8KidsMom she's opened another shop to support her growing flock of sheep! Counting Sheep Farm has loads of farm fresh goodness for you to peruse!
You should really try her Jacob fleece! It is an easy-to-spin wool with very interesting natural colors!

Visit Counting Sheep Farm, find something you like, and post about it in the comments section below this post! We'll draw for a winner on Saturday so don't wait to visit. Also, remember to let everyone else know about Counting Sheep Farm through twitter, facebook, plurk, Ravelry, your blog etc and we'll count those networking pings as extra entries- just let us know you did it!

I not only love the undyed mulberry silk, I just bought it!
I was just thinking this morning how online fleece and roving doesn't tempt me quite the way it used to. but I guess some things still do!
Thanks, Rachel

I am so in love with the Farm Fresh Batt in Seaweed color it's my favorite, but I love everything too!

Oooh. I love the fresh farm fiber. That Finn looks lovely, and I love the photos of the lamb & ewe where it came from!
Prices aren't bad either!
Congratulations on the new shop! I love the name. If forced to pick one item, as hard as it was, I picked the Farm Fresh Batt GLITZ Cormo, Milk, Bamboo and Firestar 1.8 oz.

The Seaweed batt is my favorite. I love its earthy colors, which I find funny considering it's called "Seaweed." Beautiful!
I like the "Lovely" Batt. Aptly named!
Good for her! It seems like she only just opened the My8kidsmom shop.
I am most tempted by the combed top. The handspun is also lovely.
Ooohhh the seaweed batt is lovely. :-)
The mermaid handspun is lovely.
The angora sampler pack makes me want to nuzzle my nose in it!

+ facebook
The Seaweed batt colors are perfect for fall. Very pretty!!!
Oh, I just really need some chocolate right now- Chocolate Cormo Cross Roving that is!
Her "Farm Fresh" Seaweed Batt is just luscious. *sigh*
I really must quit reading this blog though, some of these folks have such wonderful things that I can't help but buy fiber! Hi, my name is Lisa and I have a fiber problem...
The Farm Fresh Batt LOVELY BFL, Silk and Firestar looks just lovely. And the prices in this shop are quite affordable. I also loved the Undyed Mulllberry Silk.

UnDyed Mulberry Silk looks so bright and shiney white.
I'm a sucker for purple and Purple Banana Farm Fresh Batt 1.7 Ounces is no different! Can't beat it with a name like that! Great!
Love, love, love the Seaweed batt.
i would love to try to spin the mulberry roving! it looks awesome! although i also like cormo/alpaca/silk roving as well!
The seaweed batt is gorgeous. I am on a huge hiatus from buying yarn & fiber. =(

purple banana batt is really lovely!
Pink sparkles is ridiculously beautiful! LOVE it!
I love her mulberry silk and as soon as I have room and money, I'm buying some! The colors of her batts are wonderful and that mermaid handspun (which is now sold) was fabulous!
I'm fascinated by this Farm Fresh Batt Leah CormoX, Alpaca and Soysilk 2 oz. I'd love to watch those little bits of color forming against the dark background.
i love the seaweed batt very nice vbarton24 at gmail dot com

Its a toss up between the mulberry silk and this Farm Fresh Batt SEAWEED Merino, Nylon and Bamboo 2 oz
Great stuff.
I would love to have any of her Farm Fresh Batts, especially the Glitz or Seaweed. It would be fun to spin any of these batts with their exotic fiber combinations.
I wonder how the Jacob roving would knit up? Could it be separated into strands similar to Icelandic plutlopi?
Rachel is so terrific!
I really love the "Farm Fresh Batt Leah CormoX, Alpaca and Soysilk" -- added it to my Etsy favorites...
Wow! I want to try the purple banana farm fresh batt. Never spun banana fiber. HMMMM!
I love the natural colors in fiber and I'm truly a Jacob gal. I just love the Jacob.
Oh! Forgot to mention I love the Seaweed or Glitz....drool drool!
Glitz, although Pink Sparkles is calling to me too.
Seawood is delicious looking.
The Leah CormoX, Alpaca and Soysilk make me want to learn how to spin :0) I love the color!
Gorgeous!
I love the mulberry silk.
Neon Bomb!
