Glenfiddich Wool is a dream of three women born in three different states finally meeting and discovering they had settled within a forty mile radius of each other. Their proximity, their shared love of knitting, and 140 Glenfiddich sheep fueled their common vision. Wool had become the catalyst for their creative energies.
Kathleen England shares the sheep farm with her husband, Robby, in Roseville, Pennsylvania. Their home, a big farmhouse is always teeming with kids. It is on the farm that she has opened a yarn shop featuring her own wool. Inventory is a joint effort among the three.
Barbara Condon is a retired math teacher in Painted Post, New York, where she lives with her husband, Lou.
Cynthia Hawk, retired State Dog Warden, lives in the Wellsboro, Pennsylvania area where she is the host of a rural vacation rental called Hawk House.
The three knitters jointly display their creative efforts in the form of hand spun yarns, hand dyed yarns and finished product. They also travel giving knitting, spinning and felting instruction. They have had the “featured artist” status twice in Johnstown, PA where a shop called The Blacksmith Exchange sells their yarns exclusively.
