As we approach the end of this busy year, we'd like to take an opportunity to look back on all the beautiful fiber creations that Tierra Wools and our fiber family have created. The act of making grounds us all and gives us a sense of purpose: we'd like to celebrate that impulse which we all share in this collection of creations made by Tierra Wools artisans and members of our fiber family throughout 2021. We hope you find this collection as inspiring as we do!
