Ellen Sullivan, the co-owner of the farm is also a tapestry weaver. Ellen weaves from the wool of her small flock of Navajo-Churro sheep, a rare and endangered species of sheep with less than 4000 registered in the U.S. This sheep breed is the life of the Navajo weavers by whom Ellen is inspired. Her southwestern style weavings are interpretations of ancient Navajo rugs as seen in books and museums. The colors are contemporary, bringing together the passage of time.

The wool of both the N-C sheep and llama is available at The-Wool-Shed-in-the-Fields at The Lavender Fields® in the form of roving for hand-spinners and yarns for those who crochet, knit and weave. Some of the yarns have been hand dyed by Ellen, but most are in natural shades of the sheep and llama, ranging from snowy white to black, with many shades of tans and browns.
