A Love Letter to Wool

BLANKET
Written By Jesscy Zimmerman

From the moment we met, I have loved you. And I have known you all my life. 

You adorned the backs of my ancestors. We have washed and woven and worn you since the moon first kissed the stars. You are as old as time and just as valuable. 

Holding the red clay mountain and swept out prairie, you are ever-changing and perpetual allure. You are the essence of earth and ether. 

I dream of wool gathering times. Lanolin and grit stained fists full of you, underneath a spitting sky. 

We work together to artfully curate things of beauty & balance. A cloak to ward off winter's grip, a blanket to ease the bone cracking cold. 

We are companions, you and I. As easy as old friends. 

You are iiná. You are life. 

All of these reasons & more are why you hold my heart. 

From the moment we met, I have loved you. And I will love you all my life.

Jesscy Dean was fortunate to be born under the Big Sky as a fourth-generation Montanan. People often ask her how on earth she has so many skillsets. Her answer is simple – her mama. She taught Jess the value of hard work and gratitude, how to laugh & dream on a major scale and seriously influenced her love of nature and animals. From running a chainsaw to identifying & preserve the abundance of the mountains & prairies. She taught her how to be tough and self-sufficient, kind and huge hearted. Jesscy is proud to be able to create with Montana grown gifts & to help empower others to to live a vibrant, unorthodox life.
