By Lauree presents
the elegance and beauty of Wheat Weaving. As a gift or simply something special
for yourself, our lovely products are sure to make any home, office, or event a
little more beautiful! All items are Made in Montana and bear the Made in Montana logo. Lauree is a
member of the National Association of Wheat Weavers.
Lauree is a member of the National Wheat Weavers Association and
operates By Lauree from Ferda Farm which is located on the Highwood North
Bench in the heart of the "Golden Triangle" in Montana. The
"Golden Triangle" is the prime wheat producing area of Montana. Both
spring wheat and winter wheat is raised on the farm as well as barley. The
grain is raised for use in both the traditional manner (food production &
animal feed) and also for our wheat weaving.
We have a Gift Shop right here on the
farm northwest of Highwood. We sell our weavings here as well as handmade
silver jewelry by Hansen. We also sell leather jewelry and hand crocheted
and knitted items. Come on out to see the farm and the new
crop, try your hand at wheat weaving, or just have a cup of coffee and visit!
By Lauree has been in business since
1995. We sell wheat weavings, some hand knitting, crocheting, and offer
repair and duplication of antique or beloved crocheted items. We also offer
laundry services on crocheted linens for the "on-the-go" or
"don’t quite know how" individuals. We do a lot of custom
orders (for both the wheat weaving and the crocheting and knitting). These are
usually for special colors or items that are for weddings, conventions,
anniversaries, or sometimes to get that perfect color for in a customer's
house.
Most of the wheat we weave is
gathered from our own fields. Some of the weavings have been from
gatherings of the very crops that have won Milling and Baking contests in
Montana. We also seed some crops specifically for the weaving. These are usually
a durum variety or triticale. Although most of the weavings are
decorated with some satin ribbon, any design can be done in strictly natural
colors and fibers. Our weavings are all tied with natural raffia (
including our bows ) and sprayed with a ceramic fixative to help prevent shatter
and give them a nice sheen.
The weavings come in attractive packaging
and ship very well. There are a few exceptions however to the packaging:
The #950 Love Knot does not come packaged, nor are the crocheted items
or the leather items unless special arrangements are made.
(There is an additional fee which varies according to the item for this.)
Below is an example of our packaging.
No specific grain variety is guaranteed at this time but we do what we can
for special orders.
