5 out of 5 starsIt took me a frustrating amount of time to figure out how to start using it, but these spin like a dream! They are nicely weighted and fun to have around. I am not sure how big of a project I could do one these, but I am also very new to spinning so that says more about me than the product. Love the colors, shipped well and reasonably quickly!

5 out of 5 starsGreat product and very beautifully made. Shipping was slow but could be the carriers being busy. I haven't gotten to use it yet but it is small enough to put in my pocket and do on the go.

This was the booth at Shenandoah Valley Fiber Festival, September 2018
Dyeing for Fun and a Little Bit of Profit
I began dabbling in dyes when my mom opened her tie-dye clothing business. I started with dyeing my own fabric for quilts then dyeing took a back seat when I discovered spinning. I was driving truck at the time and dyeing was NOT something I was comfortable doing on the road.
Fast forward a few years to Etsy and the cessation of my driving career. I had kids and a renewed sense of creativity where dyes were concerned, plus spinning my own yarn opened up the path to DYEING the fiber to spin. That went hand-in-hand with dyeing yarn, and here I am.
I still knit and spin, but most of my time is spent herding children and animals and dyeing yarns. I make small batches of soap occasionally and have begun to make stitch markers.
This is one slippery slope!
