The 14 Mile Farm online shop is now open!

I'm excited to offer my work through this venue in addition to selling directly via the 14 Mile Farm Chatter group on Facebook. My hope is that this allows friends, family, and acquaintance an easier way to get a bit of 14 Mile Farm into their lives. I currently offer shipping to the US and Canada through the shop. If you live elsewhere globally and would like to make a purchase, please contact me to set up a listing with shipping calculations for your locale.

The shop is currently stocked with wrap scrap items (scarves, scrap, and a baby blanket) and a skein of handspun yarn. Bookmark the site to check back in the coming weeks and months for more of the same as well as wildcrafted herbs, tapestry weaving, and other goodies.

I mainly weave baby wraps, and I love the merging of engineering (weight bearing needs, wrapping quality preferences) and artistic expression that baby wraps as a product line requires of me. However, we all know that eventually babes become children and our wearing days wind down to a close. When that inevitably happens, I'd be sad to entirely lose the textile-based connections and friendships I'm forming with my customers. Additionally, there are many people in my life outside of babywearing who have asked how they can get a piece of what I make.

And so, I have been experimenting with scarf designs. This cowl/hood is a full wrap width deep and nearly a meter in circumference. I love the generous way it drapes around neck, covering the heart or warming tense shoulders depending on how it is placed.

I think I'll add this to the smaller (more affordable) tube cowls that I have been offering as a regular product line here at 14 Mile. As makers must, I'm already thinking ahead to the holiday season: is this something you'd be interested in gifting to someone special this year? Keep an eye out here and on the 14 Mile Farm Facebook page for listings!

P.S. I'm excessively smitten with the way that my new hair matches the tones that I dyed into Unconditional.
