I started weaving about 28 years ago. Then I married a dairy farmer and that (and keeping up with 3 kids) consumed my life for about 15 years. Now my husband teaches 7th grade and I am the farmer.

On our 10-acre farm north of Vacaville, I raise Jacob sheep, a rare breed, and promote their unique spotted wool. I market the wool as carded sliver, yarn, or handwoven blankets and scarves. I actively promote conservation of the Jacob sheep breed, working as Registrar for the Jacob Sheep Breeders Association and I enjoy exhibiting my sheep, and selling other products including lamb and I also weave other products for sale, including popular cotton baby blankets and rayon chenille scarves In addition, I weave custom blankets and scarves for people who raise sheep, but don’t work with the wool themselves. I also teach classes in spinning, weaving, and dyeing, and am a member of several local fiber guilds.
