Welcome and Happy Holidays!
I sell free spirited handspun yarn & fiber art supplies with a focus on color & texture. I love working with natural materials; some of my favorite things to do include spinning and hand dyeing, and I am perfectly content to spend long amounts of time with my hands deep in fiber of any kind. I love cleaning up and dyeing raw fiber, fresh from the farm. I love letting the fiber lead so the original spirit of an animal's fleece still shines through in a finished product!
I hope you enjoy looking around, and please message me with any questions you might have. I am happy you're here!

Spinning along with Alden, my youngest, when he was a newborn in his wrap.
I'd been knitting for years but spinning was always something I wanted to try. One day I was browsing Craigslist and found a low priced Ashford Traditional, told my husband I was going to go buy it, to his surprise, and brought it home. My daughter christened it "Rosehip". I'd never tried spinning before I bought my wheel but learned to spin from many, many books, YouTube videos, and trial and error. It felt like I was home. I've tried many things in my life but nothing ever *fit* like knitting, and then spinning, and finally learning how to process raw wool and dye fiber. 3 wheels later and now I have my "forever" wheel, a vintage Lendrum with a super bulky plying head, a vintage Fricke drum carder, a set of ridiculously sharp wool combs and cupboards/drawers full of fiber. After so much dreaming in our little neighborhood in our little house, one of my biggest dreams came true last year of moving to the country and having some land! I have some angora goats, French Angora bunnies, dairy goats, chickens, and am excited to add sheep to the mix at some point!
I love the "free spirited-ness" of fiber art, especially in the magic that happens in the dye pot when colors blend in beautiful ways, in the wild naturally curly locks of certain breeds, and in the act of spinning itself when you're able to let go and let the fiber guide. I also love the connection that spinning gives to people; the connection to the land, animals, farm, and farmer, the connection to history and the past, and the connection to other fiber artists - when you can talk to someone who does what you do too and they understand everything you're saying!
I am so happy to have the opportunity to share my joy with my customers, and truly hope it shows. Please let me know if there's anything special I can do for you!
