More about Mulberry Meadows:

Raised as a third generation farmer and a ten year 4-H member Carol Ann Bachofer developed an interest in Boer goats as a retirement project! 
After developing a herd of ABGA Boer Goat championship bloodlines a dispersal sale was held in the spring of 2018. It was at this time Carol Ann started to investigate the history of the Navajo Churro Sheep. 

During college she was able to complete a weaving course and was hooked on weaving for a lifetime. Later spinning was added to her resume with the purchase of a Rio Grande Wheel designed by Rachel Brown, Taos, NM.

During the last few years and a lot of practice she has developed a technique of spinning one ply NC wool and using it as a core for an overlay of mohair!

Although she owns several looms, her peg loom is her favorite to weave Navajo Churro wool rugs. Carol Ann will be demonstrating spinning of Navajo Churro wool and peg loom weaving during the weekend. 

Items offered for sale will include raw Navajo Churro wool, Pendleton wool blanket selvage, and  Soulmate sock remnants. 

Please feel free to stop by her booth for a visit. Carol Ann will be available to help answer your questions about spinning and weaving!
