The woolen mills of New England are gone, but inside a barn in rural Massachusetts there lurks a complete 1940s weaving shop. Old industrial looms live their second life weaving cotton and wool blankets. Each loom is a ton and a half of greasy gears, wheels, and pulleys--mechanical innovation that made complex patterns possible. The patterns Peggy weaves are all original designs, but reflect inspiration from textile traditions around the world.

Besides her own line of blankets, Peggy weaves custom blankets for fiber farmers using their own wool. She has also woven the CISA Massachusetts Heritage Wool Blankets and a reproduction of a historic blanket form the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association's Memorial Hall Museum collection.
