About Us
Jess Ludwicki is the farmer and felt maker behind Love Lamb.
After years of working in NYC’s marketing and advertising world, Jess relocated to the Catskill Mountains with her husband Steve, and they began to slowly build their homestead.
During a long, dark, upstate New York Winter - Love Lamb was born. Jess was determined to find a reason to add sheep to their growing farm, and spent months researching everything that could be made with wool.
Felt making seemed to come naturally to her, and while Jess now has her own small flock of Shetland and Babydoll sheep, she continues to source wool locally from fiber farms across New England. Her own sheep not only provide fiber, but play a critical role in Echo Orchard’s permaculture design - mowing the grass between trees and providing manure to enhance the soil.
