Presently, Wool & Paddle products include made items, such as vessels/bottle art; mushrooms. folksy pieces such as fish, elves, owls and nests as well as upcycled wool treasures such as cozy blankets and stockings. Many items are seasonal in nature so this site is updated regularly.
My work often incorporates found items in nature such as wild grapevine, acorn shells, driftwood and shells.

My pursuit began around 2010 when I put my passion for wool (in the form of knitting, upcycling and wet felting) on display at a few local markets and fairs.
It has since grown both in variety and scope to include needle felting, some nuno work and 3D wool sculpting. I am always learning and love to teach others about this wonderful medium.

Meet the Maker
I have always loved wool. As a child, I was drawn to the cozy and mild nature of sheep and learned to knit (long before YouTube could do that!). From there, I took courses and tutorials from esteemed artists (including Moy Mackay, Andrea Graham, Sara Renzulli, Marie Spaulding, and others) and gathered local knowledge on fibre processing

I keep learning about the magic of wool.
I am winding down my career as a registered nurse and public servant, and have found joy, tranquility and comfort being surrounded by wool. I hope you love what I create as much as I enjoy making it!
