I love yarn. I started back in 2000 with taking apart thrift sweaters and now i’m scouring, dyeing, and spinning wool I get in giant bags at wool festivals. The textures, the colors, the smells…I love all of that about creating yarn. I’m not a production spinner, so when I spin, it’s in small batches that take longer to create.

I’ve done the knitting, freeform crocheting, and weaving. Now I’m doing something different for me. I’m spinning yarns to sell instead of for me to use. I’m spinning wire yarn and creating earrings. I’m dyeing wool top to sell for others to spin with. This is all a departure from my previous fiber life, and we will see where this takes me.
