While I was working at my first industry job at Firaxis, I started to seriously crave knitting with handspun yarns, but was way too poor to afford purchasing them in any large amount or with any kind of regularity. So I figured, hey, why not try making them?

I made a spindle out of some random wood parts I had from game prototyping and set out with some books and youtubage tutelage. Soon I was spinning at the office, much to the confusion and curiostiy of some of the programmers down the hall. I lamented about not being able to afford a wheel yet, and one of them suggested selling spindles to cover the price. Huzzah for practical programmers.

Fiber Obsessions began soon after that, and I sold a fair number of spindles, eventually buying a Kromski Symphony as my first wheel. Since then I've added a Sonata and Harp to my tools.

Years, job changes, and a studio closure later, I've now got an unprecedented amount of free time on my hands to ramp the store up more and offer a wider array of fiber goodies. Let's see how it goes. :)
