Hope grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania where she learned to appreciate the simple way of living. She was constantly surrounded by family treasures and the love her parents found in those particular antiques.  Hope's love for all things handmade, timeworn and earthy inspires her to create from raw wool. She loves to wash, dye, spin and then knit or crochet homespun yarn into stylish accessories as well as encourage others to be creative.
