This has been a good productive week in the studio! I dyed Monet on several yarn bases. Here it is on Stained Glass Sock for the first time: Monet looks great with Purple Delight and Epiphany. I also dyed Monet’s Water Lilies this week, which is an assigned pooling colorway. Here it is on Twinkle… Read More Fresh from the Dye Pots
I have been spinning yarn and weaving for over 20 years now, and one of the things that I have really enjoyed over those years has been learning about different types of natural fibers and what they are good for. This week I thought we could do something a little different than usual and talk… Read More Nerding Out About Natural Fibers

This coming week is going to be a little bit different. I’ll still be packaging and mailing your orders, homeschooling my kids, and doing a minimum of housework. As much as possible, though, my focus is going to be on spinning as much as I can. I get to play (aka spin) all week long… Read More Ready, Aim, Spin
Show and Tell Today I get to do show and tell! It is always such an honor to get to share the beautiful things that you make from yarn and fiber that I make.
