Fiber of one sort or another has been part of my life for as long as i can remember. When i was very young my paternal grandmother would often come to our house for extended visits. She was always knitting or crocheting something, and i was fascinated. When i was about six years old, i cut a reasonable facimile of a crochet hook out of corrugated cardboard, and using the little loops intended for use with my potholder loom for 'yarn', i taught myself to crochet a chain. The adults were impressed enough that someone gave me a REAL crochet hook and some yarn. And my mother bought a copy of that old standby 'The Learn How Book' for me. :-)
A short time later i noticed that the 'ten penny nails' in the family tool box looked like little knitting needles. Using my trusty Learn How Book, i taught myself to knit. So when, as a college student majoring in art in the late 1970's, i sort of fell into a fiber design class, and learned to spin and weave, my mother said she wasn't surprised. She figures i've probably been spinning, knitting, etc, for several lifetimes by now, and she doesn't even believe in reincarnation, lol.
I'd have to say that spinning is my true love. I'd have a house full of spinning wheels if i could afford to. at least one in every room. :-) I especially enjoy spinning fine yarns, although bulky two ply yarns are occasionally a nice diversion. I spin for the joy of spinning, most of the time. Sometimes a particular batch of fiber wants to be spun for a sweater, or socks, or a lace shawl, but it's the meditative nature of spinning that calls me to the wheel.
I'll be offering a variety of hanspun yarns for sale here, as well as a variety of knit and crocheted items. Some in handspun natural fibers, and others in a variety of commercial yarns. Check back often to see what's here.
