Washing Fleece- Traditional Hot Water Method

I scored some awesome fleeces last weekend at Yarnival! Even better, they were TEN DOLLARS a fleece!! I promised a few friends there that when I got home I would share my fleece washing process.  Everyone has their own twist- this is how I do it.

Stitches Midwest Preview and Etsy Update!

ONE week until Stitches Midwest!!  I’ve been working like a crazyperson getting ready- and I’m getting really excited! I have been covered in sparkle and fiber for weeks- I finally have photos to share!! Ready for a preview of what I’m bringing?

Booth Locations Confirmed and Custom Listings Avaliable!

I can’t believe that Stitches Midwest is less than a month, and SAFF is just around the corner from that!!  Since I have lots of fiber onhand- custom repeat listings have been added to the shop!  I’m really excited because I have my booth locations confirmed for both festivals- and I have GREAT spots!!

Tour De Fleece Begins! Restash with a Shop Discount!

I love the Tour De Fleece! Every year I prepare by gathering things I’ve been meaning to spin, but just haven’t gotten around too..  things I’ve dreamed out.. things that I’ve wanted to make happen.  I’m offering a shop discount as well for those who are participating!

A Tour Through My Studio

I’ve gotten lots of requests to show off my “batt cave”  It really is a ‘cave’ since I only have an 11×10 room as my studio- but I have made it into a very special creative home.
