Where we live there aren't many businesses. Big dreams are hard to come by. But we are both hardship and unbelievable beauty. Four years ago on a tiny Rez house on a dead end road we waited.

We released new wool this year and slew of other fun gear. Working with photographer Nedahness Greene has been a dream. 2019 brought incredible change and growth to our small company here in northern Minnesota.
