Jayne is active in serving as a fiber and animal judge at different events and at several fiber gathering and fairs.

 

She earned her Master Handspinning Certificate from Olds College and now teaches for the college in Canada and across America.

 

Through teaching classes and judging, Jayne is able to see what is trending in the fiber world.

 

Jayne and her husband own a boutique custom fiber processing mill, where she loves to make fiber blends.

 

On their farm, they raise Registered Montedale and colored fleece sheep along with Cashmere goats, cattle, hay and grain.
