A friend with lymphedema got me to make her some woven leg wraps. They’ve worked out so well for her that she’s convinced me to take commissions for other people who might get some relief from them. Learn more here.
SwitchKnits is based in New York now, as I’ve moved here from Florida. Orders will be shipped within two business days as they were before. Thanks!
I admit, I’ve mostly been spinning for myself lately. I made yarn for a sweater, decided it wasn’t going to be right for me, so started another sweater yarn.
But I have made a few things. Here’s a sneak peek.
The two on the left are gradients. I love spinning gradients! Stay tuned for new listings late this week…
I’m not going out of business, but I am moving out of state in a couple of months. So I want to reduce my inventory, as it will cost me money to move the yarn. Take advantage! 50% off until Feb. 7th with code moving50 .
I’m sad to say my recent sale had no purchases. I’ll donate some of my own money as I can though.
The fiber arts community in North Carolina is suffering horribly. SAFF, the big fiber arts festival, has been canceled because of Helene. So, taking after my weavers guild friend Patti Barker, I’m having a sale to benefit Asheville artists. You get 20% off with the code ASHVILLE20 until Oct 13th. And 20% of your sale amount will go to the fundraiser being done by fiber arts collective Local Cloth. On Oct. 14th I will post the sale total and donation receipt on this blog.
Do a little shopping and feel good about it. Thanks, and have a good day.
I made a video on how to spin without injuring your hands, using a technique I refer to as “medium draw”. Enjoy!
Get 10% off your order with code LABOR2024! Good through 9/3/24.
Back to spinning, that is. My right thumb problem turned out to be arthritis. But I modified my spinning technique and did a little practice, and now I’m back to shop-worthy spinning.
I just finished this gradient (about sport/DK weight, 285 yards, 5 ounces, merino and nylon) and I’m working on its twin, as I have another braid of this colorway. They’ll be in the shop soon, along with a few yarns I spun before my thumb started bothering me.
