A little about Me.

A little about me

I started spinning on a drop spindle in 2009 then in December 2012 I got a spinning wheel an Ashford Traditional. The wheel was a single drive wheel. After a year of spinning on it I decided that I wanted a double drive wheel. I now have the Kromski Minstrel double drive

I dream about spinning and think that just about everything I see could be spun into some kind of yarn. YES, I am a little obsessed with spinning. I love spinning art yarn mostly. Lock spinning, coils, Navajo plies, thick and thin, you name it. I have washed dyed and spun fleeces. I have had my own wonderful Shetland sheep and have had quite a few fleeces given to me. I have minimal experience dyeing, but I have had great success with the food and cake dyes that I have tried. I am very happy with the results.

Equipment to process fiber:

Spinning wheel, hand cards, electric drum carder, large picker, combs, blending board etc. Currently own one spinning wheel (Kromski Minstrel). I have two sizes of flyer heads and bobbins and three sizes of whorls for it, so I can spin a lot of types and weights of yarn. Did I mention I LOVE to spin art yarn of all kinds? (beads, dodads, add-ins, crazy bulky chunky art yarn, and core spun yarn) Fibers Accepted: All kinds (potentially)

(Please Skirt Prior to Sending) ). If Fiber is sent un-skirted, I will do my best to skirt it Vegetable Matter:

It is preferred that the fleece be low in VM but I will do my best to pick it as clean as I can.

Processing:

Spinning, Carding, Combing, and Blending with add-ins supplied by you.

Also batts, rolags (rologs), roving and, art batts.

The Arizona Fiber Mill (http://www.arizonafibermill.com/) is only 15 miles from my place I can take fiber

there to be processed into just about anything you want.

Updates on progress will be given regularly along with photos.
