I teach fiber arts online and in person. Contact me if your guild or festival is interested in having me teach.

Power Spinning is available from HansenCrafts. While copies last, Productive Spindling is available from Bosworth Spindles and Halcyon Yarn.


The website features a top-3 list of posts over on the right. However, I have my favorite posts too. Currently I am enamored by Turkish Spindles, and love the economical colored-pencil spindle featured in How do you Make a Turkish Spindle?.

Fiber fascinates me -- I spin, knit, nalbind, felt, dye, weave, crochet, knot, card, and play string games. Fiber combines texture, color, and design in wonderful ways. I teach and write about fiber: you will find the Blog full of useful fiber information with its FAQ style.
