- Name: finnsheep
- Location: Lords Valley, Poconos, Pennsylvania
We live on a farm that has been in the family since 1859. Our few acres are home to our 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. The wool from our sheep has a very soft hand and high luster which makes it very popular with handspinners. I have been spinning the wool from my sheep since the mid-80's. Finnsheep come in most of the colors of the sheep rainbow. We are no longer breeding Finnsheep, but have kept a few old friends for their wool. A few years ago we found ourselves collecting and restoring antique spinning wheels. It is a tremendous thrill to put a spinning wheel back in condition to do what it was made for! We have both great wheels and Saxony wheels available as well as hand turned spinning accessories made of exotic woods by Fred Hatton.

OMG, I love them. I didn't know you painted, but then we don't know one another at all. Nice work, anyway.
You are an amazing person...talented in so many ways. Congratulations on the art show.
Lovely! I didn't know you painted.
They are beautiful. Good luck with the show. I keep wondering if there is anything you don't do.
really lovely, like everyone else here, "I didn't know you painted".
Congratulations on your show.
