6. How did you get into making stuff?
After living in Iceland for 2 1/2 years, I fell in love with the Icelandic sheep. I had been spinning for about 10 years and longed for a flock of my own. The versatility and beauty of the Icelandics drew me to them and I started my flock 5 years ago. Icelandic wool is great for spinning and felting and my handspun yarn has always sold well at MD Sheep and Wool festival. My mill-spun hand dyed Lopi yarn is also sought out for its softness over store-bought lopi.

colors of my sheep, texture and patterns of art and nature
