Patricia Herman-  Patricia Herman
lives in Whitelaw, WI and took an
early retirement from nursing to
pursue her interest in spinning and
weaving. Patricia now works at

began spinning in 1997 in an effort to utilize her dogs
prolific fiber. When she had accumulated enough yarn she
began weaving on a Triangle Loom using the continuous
loop method of weaving. She has taught classes for area
spinning guilds, Fiber Thing Retreat in St. Nazianz, WI,
