Introduction | This is a team of former "Wheelers" who discovered each other because of their passion for fiber. Janet grew up on a farm in Nebraska where she raised sheep as 4-H projects. Now she raises sheep and Angora goats for fiber. Becky is a native Texan whose interest has always been in hand and needle work. She started spinning and weaving several years ago. When Becky and Janet met, they discovered that they shared a common maiden name. Being former Wheelers, they felt a kinship, and the team was born. Becky and Janet sell their products in Arbor II at the Canton First Monday Trade Days in East Texas every month. |
