Saturday in the Studio 03/23/2019
I’m finally moved into the new Studio and more importantly I’m well again. This past six months has been intense. However, my workspace is up and going and I’ve been busy the past two weeks in the wool room. I had planned to revamp the blog and brand in January, but let’s just say lifeContinue reading “Saturday in the Studio 03/23/2019”
Winding up Wednesday: Spinning a Tender Fleece
Shearing season is finally coming to a close and I’m back to the wheel and the loom. My dear Sade was one of the last sheep in the flock shorn. My shy little orphan had two surprises for me. First – she’s not such a little sheep! She’s a decent sized gal with a fiveContinue reading “Winding up Wednesday: Spinning a Tender Fleece”
Winding up Wednesday: The Babe Production Wheel – A Review
* I am in no way associated with Babe spinning wheels. I’m just reviewing what I like and don’t like about my wheel. In 2012 I FINALLY got my first spinning wheel.

Sunday’s Sassy Stitch and Spin: Deep Freeze
Winter has finally arrived to our little cove and driven me inside for the yearly hibernation. We aren’t expecting a day over forty degrees until March or night above freezing until April. I don’t know how our northernmost neighbors cope, but around her we snuggle in and wait. Oh, I’ll still be out to seeContinue reading “Sunday’s Sassy Stitch and Spin: Deep Freeze”
Winding up Wednesday: Spinning Oatmeal Girl
The Fleece This past February I helped out on shearing day at my neighbor’s place. She graciously gave me a salvageable fleece with problems. The fleece has been in storage until recently. This particular ewe had a skin infection that caused skin flaking and small scabs throughout the fleece. However, it was mostly on theContinue reading “Winding up Wednesday: Spinning Oatmeal Girl”
