Lynne's 30 year interest in collecting antiques and restoring her ca. 1844 Greek Revival home eventually led her to create primitive hooked rugs. After teaching for several years at Mt. Bruce Sheep and Wool Festival and Ewe'n Hook Fiber Shop in Romeo, Lynne began her home-based business Never Enough Wool in 2006.
Lynne is an ATHA (Association of Traditional rug Hooking Artists) teacher, who began her love of primitive rug hooking in 1999. Currently, she teaches primitive rug hooking classes in her historic ca. 1844 home in Romeo, exhibits at numerous fiber shows, creates beautiful hand-dyed wool and is designing her own original patterns. She is a member of the Great Lakes Rug Hooking Guild.
