We,
Ingeborg (Inge) and Wolf, bought a 6 acre farm a year ago ( Dec. 2006). It lies in a picturesque valley, about two miles to the West from Sweet
Home in the foot hills of Oregon’s Cascade Mountains. .We named it Timberwolf Farm. We are
preparing the land for our animals which we will get hopefully this spring
after we will have installed the fences. We will get sheep and alpacas
to produce wool for spinners.
Before
we started this new venture in Oregon, we had been research scientists
and college teachers (Inge is a physician and Wolf a veterinarian).
After retiring from our University jobs, we had raised sheep on
Montserrat in the Caribbean, where we ran a SCUBA dive operation
(Seawolf Diving School). We also had served as the island vets on our
small island for 8 years.
We
hope to being ready to sell you fleeces, carded wool and alpaca fibers,
and hand-spun wool from our animals by the next year.
However,
Inge is ready to sell her fiber art objects to you already. She makes
beautiful bobbin lace pieces which she sells in a local art gallery.
Her work has been published in the British Lace Magazine with pieces
that won her the certificate of an advanced bobbin lacer. She also
produces amazingly tiny miniature bobbin lace objects for doll houses.
