Buyers are raving!
This shop got multiple 5-star reviews in the past 7 days.
Announcement
We are just a small family shop with 3 people working total. With our support, Miss Maggie is able to focus on getting her beautiful tools to all of you. It would be wonderful if some day we could grow up and become a bigger company, but right now, we are still very small. We love what we do but we're not perfect...
All of our items are currently made to order! At average we have between 50 to 70 orders at any one time. Our family has been working to try and keep up with the demand for our lovely looms as best we can. Thank you, so much, for your wonderful kindness and understanding at this time.
We are doing our best, but it's been a weird ride for the last year! As you all know... Stay safe!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Economical and reasonably price fiber tools for the fiber artist and enthusiasts! All made by a young lady woodworker, and tested by her weaving family members.

Don't spend a lot of cash on fancy tools... our offerings are good, solid and reasonably priced! Spend more of your hard earned cash on fiber and other goodies! Please take a look at my shuttles, picks, tools and lovely fleece from our own farm's fiber flock!

5 out of 5 starsAwesome threaders! As usual, Maggie’s work is fabulous. I use these threaders on my looms - they make threading rigid heddle and floor looms so easy. Beautifully sanded and finished & very easy to hold and manage.

5 out of 5 starsThese are quite possibly the cutest thing I've ever seen. They're as much fun to weave with as to look at!

5 out of 5 starsThe quality and craftsmanship of this inkle loom is really great! It was exactly as described, and my expectations were definitely met! I honestly purchased this loom on a whim (because it was so cute!), but it looks like it should do a great job for demos and sampling!! I'm looking forward to seeing how this loom travels and performs!

5 out of 5 starsThey’re pretty! Which adds to the fun. Haven’t started the project yet, but they seem like they’ll hold up, and it’ll be easy to keep track of where I am.

5 out of 5 starsThis is an incredible quality item, exactly as described, and exceeded my expectations. I can't wait until I need another one (or a loom!) so I can purchase from this shop again.

Buying wood for more fiber tools and looms!
A young lady making heirloom wooden tools and looms for fiber artists!
As you might have learned, Maggie created this shop with the help of myself, Sherri, her mother and her older sister, Jessy. Maggie is a wonderful young autistic adult, high functioning, with a wonderful ability to create and make in wood. We really didn't know she was such a skilled artist until a little over a year ago when she made me a beautiful shuttle for my birthday. She just had a few basic woodworking tools, like her old scroll saw and a drill and she worked for several days to make this first beautiful shuttle for me. Of course, I was moved to tears and it was so beautiful... and functional! A few days later, I asked if she could make a shuttle design that I was thinking about and yes, a few days later, she made it! Our first design all our own... the Finger Pick Shuttle.
I had been really struggling with how to help Maggie find her place in this crazy world of ours. She really works best by herself, at her own speed. Sometimes she is up all night, absorbed in her craft. Other days, she's not in the working mood and needs time within herself and her animals. That is not always a good skillset for working a traditional job. She can be a little cranky and she can be marvelously happy and then she can be in the middle somewhere. Jessy and I love her and know her and can help to guide and manage her business side of the company so that she can be Maggie and make her magic.
And magic she works! She now handcrafts over 100 different tools and looms. In the short time that her shop has been opened, in July of 2015, she has sold well over 5,000 products and has had over 3,000 orders. She is so thrilled with the success!. But the very best thing is the contentment and self confidence that this has brought to Maggie. She has invested in her workshop and in new beautiful tools to help her make even more beautiful things. She has been helping to pay our homestead farm's taxes and other needs and there has never been a happier kid. She feels like she is helping to support our family and add to the equation. It's just amazing.
So join us, like our page, share us with your fiber friends. We would really love that. We want to share great things we find, other shops, ideas and so much more. We'd like to be able to easily let you know about new looms and items that Maggie has cooked up! You can let us know about tools you'd like her to try out! Several of our popular items have come from suggestions and questions from her beloved customers! We love a challenge and we will continue to create and add to our offerings.
And best of all, it's free, it's not a thing that we will spam you with or bother you. We can let you know what is happening in Maggie's workshop and we can share neat things with ya. We hope youwill share with us as well!
Thanks so very much!
Sherri, Jessy and Maggie!
