Nancy Horton
N23440 McCabe Lane  
Ettrick  WI  54627

Nancy uses wool fiber because of its durability and richness of color.  Her rugs are woven on an antique solid oak 1922 rug loom.  ”I believe the functional items in our daily lives should be works of art.”  Excellent quality and unique design combine with durability to create fully washable functional art pieces. This year Nancy is including her hand dyed silk scarves.
