Hey!

What came first, the sheep or the necktie? Sheep came into my life on Pony Mountain as part of my quest to rotationally graze my land responsibly and minimize the impact of my horses on the surrounding vegetation. I spent the previous winter teaching myself to process and spin wool for my crocheting projects during the snowiest months, so sheep quickly revealed themselves as an essential addition to the life I was slowly building. Though I haven’t yet harvested wool from my small herd of Babydoll sheep—after which “Dollyflock” gets its name—the ultimate goal of this small business is to create a sustainably sourced, durable, warm, and stylish solution to a need I had of my own!

Living atop a wild and windy mountainside has presented many challenges, but for me, the biggest one was finding a way to add personality and flair to my everyday, outdoor-survival wardrobe—especially when riding my horse, Steve. I’ve never bought into the classic silk western neckerchief, and have long been partial to the versatility, added warmth, and self-cleaning properties of wool. Enter my first necktie prototype I wore on a ride back in October 2024. That was the moment I knew I was onto something. Fast forward to today, and I have created a collection of handmade neckties crafted from merino wool, cashmere, and recycled fibers, giving wild gals of the West a stylish and functional accessory option to enjoy in the roughest of outdoor conditions while also looking rad!

Stoked to be chasing the quest of putting the “serve” in surviving the elements.
