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…
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.
Long time no see, friends! I’ve updated the shop with two mega-skeins of handspun BFL wool. Hope you like them!
I’m a huge fan of the Fuck This Knit podcast, so I sent the hosts some of my handspun. They opened the package on air in the new episode, #49, and they loved it! I’m delighted that they’re so happy with my gift. Check out the episode for a limited-time coupon code!
Now you can get regular first-class mail for international shipping. Before it was Priority Mail only. I have fixed that (I wasn’t aware it needed fixing until just now) so my apologies. Happy shopping!
My nephew and I had a table at a small business fair tonight. I sold handspun yarn, handknits, and a few handwoven pieces. My friend Cynthia from Industrial Theory Photography took pictures.
We had a great time, and it might be fun to do it again one day. (The hats and scarves you see in the photos will be available in the shop by this weekend. All of them were handknit or handwoven by me.)
I’m taking commissions for handspun again. Right now I’m working on six skeins of merino for someone I met on Ravelry.
I’ll be posting a shop update later this week, by the way. I have a few new skeins of fingering, sport, and worsted weight, all currently drying in my laundry room. Once they’re dry I’ll photograph them and post them to the shop. Stay tuned!
20% off until Dec. 15, 2018. I have some new stuff in the shop, including some lovely gradients.
