Shear Bliss at the farm

Shear Bliss is the process and the product at Four Winds Farm. Lorraine Nielsen is a fiber artisan raising majestic Jacob sheep in the mountains of Plumas County, California, creating handspun yarns and wool products of natural color or with forest and garden dyes. Her work celebrates the vibrancy of traditional arts and explores the harmonious interplay of function and beauty with natural fibers. Attentive observation of nature and a passion for fiber inspire and inform her knitted, felted, and woven designs.
