CREATING MY LIFE
One THREAD AT A TIME

Let me INSPIRE YOU! 

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

A Fiber Artist’s Journal

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:

what I love Weaving on lots of types of looms
what I love Spinning various weight yarns
what I love The Art of Scouring fleece
what I love Nuno felting with fine & raw wool
what I love Dyeing wool, roving and yarn
what I love Knitting and crocheting
what I love … And, whatever interests me today!

  • 🌙 WHAT I DO AT NIGHT…

Sometimes, I just let the wool take the lead. No plan. No pattern. Just play. 💫

I grabbed a color that spoke to me and spun it into a single. Then chain plied it to keep those colors flowing together.

🎉 And just like that—this fun, spontaneous 3-ply yarn was born!

Next time, I might weigh each color to make it repeatable… but honestly? I love the freedom of letting creativity run wild. 💕
