About Loumi

Loumi’s Company

My name is Jocelyn Tunney and Loumi (Halloumi) is my forever soulmate dog who I lost in May of 2020. My husband and I have lots of lovely animals, but you know that one you have a really special relationship with? That’s Loumi. I’m honoring her by making her the namesake of my store. I also have a formal education in weaving, so “Loumi” seemed like the perfect name! After running my own organic yarn company, O-Wool, for twelve years, I decided to change my store to a general organic yarn marketplace and carry other organic brands. There are many things I love about organic yarn, but the main one is the animal welfare component. Animals are at the heart of everything I do. Part of organic certification ensures the sheep live a natural life and are treated with respect. And Loumi loved every living creature she came into contact with. She embodies the spirit of organic yarn. If you would like more detailed information on the Global Organic Textile Standard all of our yarns adhere to, please go here!

Loumi's Farm

I’ve been vegetarian for 24 years, and eating vegan for 5. After living in cities for 15 years, and dreaming since I was a child of having my own farm… my husband and I finally did it. Our 11 chickens and 5 ducks came with us and now live in a fabulous area we call “Duckie-Town”. In the farmhouse live rescued Pit Bulls The Weenie (a three-legged wonder), and our giant puppy Herman (who is extremely mischievous). We try to foster with City of Elderly Love animal rescue when we have the time and space. An outdoor cat decided he lives here now, so we named him Benjamin and he’s our barn cat. McKinley is my 16-year-old house cat who sleeps on my head every night. My horse of 9 years, Chubbs (my equine soulmate) is mostly retired, but takes me on peaceful rides around the neighboring farms every now and then. Snowy Skies is a senior gal and former racehorse who takes me on fun, less peaceful, much faster rides on trails near and far. Tanqueray is a former show horse turned older fellow whose owner needed to rehome and retire him. Muffin Man is a young pony I'm training up, and keeps the entire herd on their toes with his wacky antics. In addition to the equines, adopted mini-pigs Dr. Leo Spaceman D.O. from Last Chance Ranch, and Artemis from Ross Mill Farm, keep things spicy. Our goals for the farm are to help as many animals as we can. My wonderful husband Patrick, despite being born and bred in the city, has taken to country life quite readily, and is the greatest partner I could ever ask for.
