Since 1982, she has raised Angora rabbits, Angora goats, colored sheep and Scottish Highland cattle and Llamas. With Registered Shetland Sheep being added in the Spring of 2004. During those same years, Suzanne experimented with spinning, weaving, knitting, locker hooking, sewing and finally felting. Her feltmaking journey began by making and marketing a simple felt hat from a Angora rabbit/wool blend created from her animals.  Her line of felted items has evolved with the maturing of experience and skills.  In 1990, she started teaching and demonstrating feltmaking.  She has taught and promoted felting at various events, guilds, and historic locations throughout the United States. In 2002, she added a custom carding mill to her list of endeavors.  The mill is now where you can find her much of the time.  With access to so much wonderful roving in her mill, Suzanne is now spending much more time with her spinning wheel and knitting needles.  The result of these endeavors is a line of new knitting patterns based on the Entrelac knitting structure.  Make sure to visit the knitting section of her fibermill web site to see all the new patterns. She also has created a full line of felting patterns and patterns for knitting with roving that is then fulled (or felted) in the washer to make very strong felted items. Last updated December 2008
