Lorrie Petersen shares her Travelogue to The Wool Factory. The Felted pieces are amazing.
"Yesterday as we drove in our motor home along the Oregon coast, we passed a sign "Wool Factory" so we screeched to a stop (not easy in a big rig)!
It's a newly opened shop, where two women buy wool, process and dye it, and felt it into pieces about 30" square, using a large commercial machine they recently acquired. They displayed vests and other items made from these pieces, with the seams needle felted. I LOVED IT! Of course I bought a piece, and it was hard choosing, since the colors were luscious.
They have a mail order business, and a web site, still a work in progress.
A totally cool place, run by our kind of women! Check it out if you're on the coast!
