About Me
- Name: finnsheep
- Location: Lords Valley, Poconos, Pennsylvania
I live on a farm that has been in the Hatton family since 1859. My seven acres used to be home to Finnsheep, a rare breed from Finland. Only a few hundred are registered in the USA every year. Finnsheep are known for large litters of lambs and wool that has a very soft hand and high luster - - very popular with handspinners. I have been spinning the wool from my sheep since the mid-80's. I am no longer breeding Finnsheep, and gave the last of them away last summer. I am in the process of learning what a tremendous thrill it is to put a spinning wheel back in condition to do what it was made for! I probably have a couple of wheels and winders for sale at any given time. Don’t hesitate to ask about them. Also please visit my etsy store http://finnsheep.etsy.com

Well, he had done it again!
The box tape loom is simply beautiful! Is it made from maple?
Beautiful!
This is stunning. Do you make them to sell?
I'm interested in making one of these. Does he have any sort of measured drawing to go by?
