Welcome to my shop!
I have been spinning yarn for over twenty years, guided by a deep fascination with texture and the expressive possibilities of fiber. I am the author of Spinning and Dyeing Yarn, creator of the masterclass series at howtospinyarn.com, a designer of multiple spinning wheels with SpinOlution and SpinPerfect, and a contributor to PLY and Tiny Studio magazines.
This shop is a true labor of love. I locally source rare and zero-waste fibers, then dye and blend them into richly layered textures created to blend and elevate your spinning, weaving, and fiber art.
I also carefully source clean and gently used materials from local guilds and retiring artisans who are destashing their studios and redistribute these supplies and materials back into the community to preserve their potential and prevent unnecessary waste.
