Our farm is located in central Missouri. We run a cow/calf operation of angus cattle. The farm has been in my husband's family for over a hundred years, and at one time, the farm sustained over 400 sheep. As ownership has been passed down, cattle replaced the sheep.

After we were married, and came to live on the farm, I began dabbling in fiber art. I first learned how to crochet from my aunt. And then I learned to knit. I was exposed to beautiful yarn that was handspun, and it was all downhill for my husband after that! I was fascinated by the thick and thin yarn and loved the idea that I could create my own. I began taking classes and workshops and learned how to spin wool on a spinning wheel. Then I learned how to weave on a rigid heddle loom. I started dreaming about owning a little fiber flock to feed this addiction that was forming. In 2013, I reintroduced sheep back to our farm when we acquired American Miniature Cheviot sheep, Shetland sheep, and a crossbreed between the two called Shetliots.

As we continue to grow our flock, and I have more than enough wool to supply my needs, I will be offering yarn, wool, and finished products here from my sheep. I've also begun kettle dyeing merino yarn for those individuals who prefer the super soft sock yarn. My focus is mainly on textile arts, and I love to continually learn new skills. Most recently, I took up sewing and I am hoping to offer more unique and varied items soon! Wool and yarn have always been my first loves, and indie dyeing is my absolute favorite way to pass the time.

I also enjoy rural photography, drawing, watercolor painting, jewelry and other crafts which I will be offering in the future. So check back often! And visit us at www.littledixiefiber.com!
