Welcome to Neauveau Fiber Arts!

About My Fibers

Each bag of fiber is a completely unique blend of color and texture, grown from happy sheep on small-farms around America. After my husband became vegan in June 2007, I started researching factory farming and decided I wouldn't purchase any more wool from large factory farms. Eventually my goal is to raise my own sheep, but for now I purchase all my fibers from small farmers and hobby farms where the animals are loved and well taken care of.

About Me

My name is Ashley and I grew up in the beautiful state of Oregon. I've always loved working with color and being creative. After meeting my husband at Florida College, we moved to his home state of Rhode Island where I was introduced to the wonderful world of fiber arts. After picking up knitting, I soon became bored with the yarns at craft stores, so I purchased a wheel and taught myself how to spin my own. After spinning and selling my yarns online and in yarn shops in New England, I started processing my own raw fleeces. To this day my favorite fiber-art process is getting elbow-deep in wet wool & hot dirty water and the smell of soap and lanolin.

Fiber arts has become the perfect outlet for me to blend my love of color & creativity with my entrepreneurial spirit. My goal is to have my own sheep rescue & hobby farm someday. I'm currently using the profits from this website to help pay for my husband's books & schooling at Oregon State University as he pursues his degree in Fisheries Wildlife & Management to become a zookeeper/organic farmer (his dream).
