Lorna learned how to hand-spin and dye her own yarn to feed her rug hooking habit. She then discovered that custom designing her own wool and yarn was the best fibre art yet. This led her to begin her own business, Shades of Ewe Fibreworks, where she makes hand-dyed, wool-based fibre arts supplies for crafters and fibre artists for use in spinning, knitting, felting and rug hooking.
