About Dunroamin Farm
Dunroamin Farm is not just a place, but a way of life. After many years of searching for property where we could spread out, have animals, and grow food, our family settled on five acres of land in rural western Massachusetts. We wasted no time in planting a large garden, building a chicken coop, and acquiring two adorable Pygora goats. We decided that this is where we wanted to put down roots: we were "done roaming."
When I'm not weeding the garden or taking care of the house and livestock, I like to spend my time felting wool and hooking rugs, two hobbies I have enjoyed for many years. Much of my inspiration comes from the colors in my garden, the Connecticut River, and the beautiful land surrounding our farm.
Please visit the Fiber Art Gallery and Jewelry Gallery to see some of my work. Some of the items are available for purchase. Feel free to contact me if any of the items strikes your fancy. Note that each piece is one of a kind, and once it is sold, it most likely will never be duplicated.
My work is for sale at Sawmill River Arts Gallery in Montague, MA, Sheep and Shawl in Deerfield, MA, and The Daylily in South Deerfield, MA. Please feel free to contact me about custom work using the form at left (or Contact tab on toolbar).
Fiber Art Gallery
I learned how to hook rugs using wool yarn from Amy Barrie at Lincoln Farm Design back in 2005, and have recently continued my education working with Margaret Arraj MacDonald at Mill River Rugs. This traditional craft is done with a simple hook, by pulling yarn, wool strips, or other fabric through holes in woven foundation fabric. My preferred materials are wool rug yarn and long-lasting linen foundation fabric. Each of my rugs is professionally finished with a handsewn wool binding. They have a piped edge to protect the edge from wear and tear. Some of the rugs have a rod pocket sewn into the top edge of the reverse side for easy hanging. Each is made with great attention to detail and with proper care should last generations.
I also enjoy needle felting and nuno felting. With each new project, I continue to learn how the material behaves and the challenge keeps me enthralled.
