I started Etsy as a means for some extra money for my family. I was once a stay at home mom. My other Etsy shop The Thread Junky became popular, but making friendship bracelets can be very time consuming with very little rewards. However, at the time anything was better than nothing.

About a year after friendship bracelets I came into contact with T-shirt yarn. At first I started buying it, then thought how much cheaper it would be to make myself. I taught myself to crochet and found a tutorial on cutting t-shirt yarn. After making a couple rugs I attempted to sell the cut yarn. It was very popular.

After many years of staying at home with my children, I have finally been able to return back to school and finish my teaching degree. I graduated in May 2016 and got a job right away teaching 3rd graders! During the school year, my supply may be limited, but summers will be full of yarn making!
