Back to Back Homespun Wool

June Bourke, the owner of Back to Back, shears the wool from her flock of Jacob’s sheep. She spins it on a traditional spinning wheel and then uses natural plants to dye the wool. Finally, June knits one-a-kind creations using unique patterns. It is truly an artisanal process that requires hard work and dedication – a process that is difficult to come across nowadays.
