Jeannette Forgacova - Bio
Jeannette fell in love with sheep as a child when spending memorable days at her Grandparent's farm. Their beautiful fleeces have sadly been neglected for many years, the value hardly covering the cost of shearing. Yet fleece is an eco-friendly, sustainable material for many uses in everyday life.
Jeannette bought her first flock of six Welsh MuIe sheep for Border Collie pup Meg to work with. She also visited a farmer friend and helped with lambing. She learned learn how to look after sheep and start lambing. She loves to watch her beautiful sheep grazing on her smallholding on the Cornwall north coast.
She makes rugs, seat pads, scarves using a loom weaving process and hats and cushions using dry and wet felting.
