As a fiber artist, my days are spent immersed in the world of wool creating one thread at a time.

My creative ADHD often takes me on exciting journeys down various “rabbit holes” of artistic exploration. (Bet this happens to you too!) This website is my way of documenting all the incredible techniques and information I discover, hoping to make your search for techniques and inspiration a little easier. Plus, it’s a handy reference for me!
Here, you’ll find my insights and tips on:
Weaving on lots of types of looms Spinning various weight yarns The Art of Scouring fleece Nuno felting with fine & raw wool Dyeing wool, roving and yarn Knitting and crocheting … And, whatever interests me today!

So this is happening! Frank has been watching tv in a crazy uncomfortable position for too long. It's time to buy him a recliner! Now, how do I redecorate? The floral is the current drape fabric. Hasn't arrived yet ... so it could be returned for something else. The colors are more coral and salmon not bright orange like the photo. Super fun!

Plyed mohair on this hand-dyed Corriedale. It was so bright, I didn't think I would use it ... and I also wanted more yardage. Holy moly what a transformation.
