I started a flock of Jacob sheep in the 1980s specialising in improving the wool quality and crossing with other rare breed sheep to achieve fine fleeces of superb quality.
I see using natural fibres as a framework to build upon, a way of creating patterns, providing a palette of textures and colour, producing a natural product from the raw materials, designing garments, spinning and knitting.
My interest has also grown in experimenting with natural dye plants
