Introduction	Hello, I'm Mary Jo. We live in the Pacific Northwest in SW WA State where we raise Hampshire and Romney Sheep.We raise and sell breeding stock, lamb, sheepskins, and fiber products. I grew up showing horses but with my husbands family being involved with sheep our kids had the opportunity to enjoy both. The boys are grown now and we only have one horse left and lots of sheep. Having the sheep I started playing with the wool and have been spinning for almost 15 years now. My passion is dyeing using both natural and commercial dyes. Accumulating a lot of fiber items led to starting a small business selling at bazaars and farmers markets AKA Ewesfluffy Fiber. I love sharing my fiber art and enjoying the company and passion of other fiber lovers.
