I am including a page of "historical documents" since Lexi Boeger's website (www.pluckyfluff.com) became inactive in late 2018 - and I want this generation of spinners to see the "Woodstock" of art yarn spinning as it was in the 2000's.
Lexi Boeger is the spinner who inspired me, and now I am blessed to inspire others. She started spinning in 1999 and I started spinning in 2003. We and many others were the fiber art pioneers on the internet, years before ETSY was launched.
