A Nebraska (the Good Life) farmgirl met her future husband in 1980 while attending South Dakota State University.  Twenty-one years later they married and moved to Minnesota's Central Woodlands.  A chance encounter with two Shetland sheep ewes named Freckles and Frances  changed things for the couple in search of finding a unique path for themselves.  A lifetime of working with fiber came together for the farmgirl, with an opportunity to produce wool, from its inception to finished product.  The end result?
