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:
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!

Finally got around to blocking this sweater. It has i-cord across the neck & bottom. My friend thought it was the curl from stockinette stitch. Nope, done on purpose.

Now that I have an 8 Shaft Loom, I can weave fancier designs. Going to give this draft a try. 🤶🏻

Finished measuring out my warp for @sjgsandh Guild Gamp Study. 10 colors are used as warp and weft and the purpose is to see how the colors interact with each other and the patterns.

Woven pieces finally getting hemmed. Shame on me. They sat for so long by the sewing machine, they got wrinkled. All is fine, I have to wash, dry and press them after I finish hemming.
