I did drop out of art school and eventually went to law school. The artist part of me got really frustrated after awhile, but I love being a lawyer too. I started knitting during court breaks and most importantly while I was waiting on a jury or a judge to make a decision. It was a great stress relief. Then I got a spinning wheel. And I spun, and I spun, and I spun.

Even when my job keeps me super busy, I spin. Occasionally I can get enough days together to dye fiber too. When I do, it goes into the shop.

Some things about my dyed fibers:
* I start with high quality wools. I don't like burrs, boogers, sticks, etc. in my yarn so I try not to dye them.
* I use high quality acid dyes
* I don't have any recipes or color formulas. I dye what strikes me THAT DAY and I probably can't replicate it exactly. In fact, I don't even try.

Some things about my handspun:
*It doesn't have any knots.
*You can weave with it.
*You can knit with it.
*You can use it in a sock knitting machine (well, if it is sockweight yarn)
*If it is not soft enough to knit something for next to skin wear--I will tell you in the listing.

I dye fiber in my kitchen & dry it on the sun on my deck.
I spin in my living room, surrounded by my family & dogs. My home is smoke free, but dog hair will occasionally find its way into things.

Need pattern suggestions? Just send me a convo & I will tell you what I would knit/crochet with a skein.
