The story

There is a story in every birth, the fiber that is shorn, the yarn that is spun, the garment that is made. Every sheep and goat has a name and a face that I recognize. To produce such a fine fiber they have to be well care for. It is a labor of love between ewe and lamb, doe and kid, sheep and shepherd. When you touch the finished product you can feel the months of feeding and care, you can see the many hours of washing, carding, spinning, knitting, weaving or felting. You can feel the difference of fibers that are alive.
