About Us 

Beginnings...........
Loom N Essence is a full service fiber arts studio whose creative vision began in the magnificent Red Rock country of  Sedona, AZ .   Loom N  Essence offers a cross section of spinning and weaving equipment to compliment the creative needs of the fiber artist in order to ensure your success.
Loom N Essence takes pride in offering some of the best fibers available in today's market.
Sharon Poplawski is the  owner and founder of  Loom N Essence and respectfully traces her love for the "old craft" to both of her grandfathers . Having been raised in a small New England mill town, I learned early to recognize their loyalty and appreciation for the trade.  It wasn't just a job.  Although I have spent many years away from those small mill towns,  I am proud of my New England Heritage. 
Their influence is the essence of my loyalty, dedication and creativity. 

Lifes Journey.........   "IOWA" - Native American translation - 
                                          (Land Between Two Rivers)

January 2008 Loom N Essence travels east to Cedar Rapids, IA embarking on a journey aimed to mesh both personal and creative goals.

               "Buffalo Gold's Fingerless Gloves"

      There are so many uses for these gloves that I just can't mention them all.  Praised by hunters and fishermen for warmth and finger tip flexibility; marching bands weep for joy to be able to keep their hands warm and  still have the mobility to play their instruments on those cold blustery days.   For me..... they are just the greatest driving gloves.

Loom N  Essence  "BUFFALO BLISS" Collection 

                           "Madame Buffalo"

To the left is the photo of our "Madame Buffalo" scarf.  Three forths of the warp is from 100% Buffalo Gold yarn while the remaining one forth is warped with some beautiful and unusual novelty yarn purchased in Jerome from Knit 1, Bead 2.   The entire weft is 100% Buffalo Gold yarn.   Since I was very amused to find this amazing novelty yarn  in Jerome and in keeping with the reputation once given the Jerome ladies, this scarf is appropriately named "Madame Buffalo"        $265
