Functional art handcrafted with local wool
The process starts on my little farm in Freeville, NY where I harvest beautiful fiber grown by my small flock of Shetland sheep. I transform these incredible fibers into gorgeous functional items. There are many things to love about Shetland wool but I often also include other local wool, mohair, alpaca and angora I source from LocalFiber friends in the Finger Lakes region of New York.
