I have a thing for yarn. I like to spin it, dye it, knit it, weave it, crochet it, and I really like to stare at it. I generally work with protein fibers and prefer to use merino wool and angora from my bunny Bucky.

If you live in the Pacific Northwest, perhaps you know of my favorite yarn show Purly Shell Fiber Arts in Ilwaco, WA. They have ready to go yarns for your crafty pleasures as well as batts and braids of fiber for you to spin. The lady pirates who run the shop are a treasure of information and also very funny.

Textile arts have been part of our family for many generations.
