Lavorgne, Maureen

The Rams Horn Connection

Fiber/Textiles

As so many businesses begin they begin with our parents. And with that being said mine began with my mother. My mother and father raised sheep. Romneys to be exact. Romneys have beautiful wool. Perfect for spinning and weaving.

What a talented and amazing spinner and weaver she was. She made beautiful coats, sweaters, jackets and more. She named her company Rams Horn Wool. She sold them at art and craft shows and did very well.

One day she decided to make little sheep from wire and wool to display the wool. Oh what a hit they were! So much so that she employed my two sisters who lived nearby and even my father to make these little fellows. Since I lived too far away she she said to start my own company. And so was born The Rams Horn Connection and that was 40 years ago.

This has been a craft of love for me. I trained my daughters on how to make these and now I am training my granddaughters. So hopefully 4th generation will start up. There are no tools used to make these just our hands and wire and wool.
