Meet the Artist
So who is Pegg Thomas from Twin Willows Farm? I
am a wife, mother and shepherd who lives in northeastern lower Michigan.
My background in is drafting and design, but my heart is in my animals
and fiber arts. Here is a photo taken at the Northern Michigan Lamb
and Wool Festival on September 28th, 2003.
The wheel I'm spinning on is a Majacraft Suzie, my
one and only wheel. I've owned two other wheels, but none fit me as
well as this Suzie. She's made for producing a lot of yarn with little wear
and tear on the operator.
The sweater vest I'm wearing is made of a natural
colored Romney fleece, hand spun and hand knitted by myself. I rarely
purchase fleece anymore, but the occasional urge to spin some nice Romney
catches up to me. The socks are knitted of some Kool-Aid dyed Border
Leicester fleece. What I am spinning is a ball of Hog Island roving
that I bought on a whim to try it out.
