| My name is Jane and I live with my husband of 28yrs, Ian, on a property in the middle of the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. We grow wheat and sheep. We live off grid, so no mains power, we have a solar array, with a small wind generator and a back up diesel generator. Most visitors never even realise that we don't have mains, it doesn't really interfere with our lifestyle at all. We also re-use most of our grey water from the washing machine and shower water, so have to use garden friendly soaps etc, which is pretty easy.
My interest in wool started as a child when I learnt to knit at 8yrs old.

| When I moved to Kimba with my husband, I helped out in the shearing shed and just loved the sheep.
I learnt to spin from a friend, and just couldn't get enough. I collected a few unwanted black sheep from farmers, and spun and knitted garments for my sisters shop in Perth.

| Eventually children came along and life became too hectic for spinning and knitting!
The spinning wheel left the loungeroom, and I just knitted for the children.
When the children got older, I was still knitting, but now it cost an arm and a leg to buy the yarn.
I decided that It was time to oil up my spinning wheel and spin my own yarn again. We still had plenty of sheep!

| Over the last few years I have gradually changed our flock of sheep, replacing most of the merino's with black sheep, and adding the beautiful English Leicesters.
We have had our first twin EL lambs,in July, here at Moseley Park Stud. Hopefully more to come.
I have also been running a store on e-bay for nearly 18 months, and have now decided to start up my own website.

| I never fail to be fascinated with wool, and the endless variety between fleeces, and breeds. I just love the wonderful creative people it brings into my life.
