Loom & Essence is a fiber arts and crafting studio.  We cover the entire life cycle of fiber art, from the raising and breeding of llamas and angora goats, the "harvesting" of the fiber, spinning and dying and finally to weaving of finished goods.  Loom & Essence is the creation of Ken & Celia Erion.

Loom & Essence is now a part of L&E Farm. When we moved to Oregon in 2004 we needed to setup another business for the farm. Since our registered llama breeder ID is L&E, we decided to call it, L&E Farm and registered the business name accordingly.

Here on L&E Farm we still breed llamas and angora goats for fiber production. Along with the pastures, the farm has about 12 arces of Christmas trees that were never harvested. We have decided to let these grow into forest since they are too large for Christmas trees and too small for timber. The trees are also overrun with brambles, mostly blackberries. So we've decided to add meat goats to the herd in 2005 to help control the weeds and add some revenue to the farm.

The craft studio is located in a large utility building that we call Area 51. It took us a little while to convert the space, but it is now finished and functional again. We plan to open the studio to the public for special events and if you are in the area, you are always welcome to come and visit

Along with the farm and the fiber crafts, we are still maintaining some of our website hosting and programming. We were fortunate to get new wiBand Internet service from OnlineMac of McMinnville. So even out here in the middle of nowhere, we have quality Internet access.

If this is your first visit to our site, come back a visit us often. We plan to add web shopping soon.

Thanks for paying us a visit!
