Loretta has always been intrigued with fibers. Whether she’s spinning, knitting, weaving or felting she is still completely fascinated with what happens. She likes to make things that are beautiful and useful.

Loretta and her husband Jerry raise llamas, alpacas, rabbits, goats and sheep on their Blackberry Hills Farm near St Croix Falls, WI. They usually spin the fibers themselves, dyeing the wool/yarn and then finally creating the finished products.

Loretta also gives classes in spinning and weaving.
