This site is dedicated to the age old art of spinning. Until 200 years ago nearly every home in every culture in the world had a spinning wheel busily twirling from dusk to dawn. It was only 10 years ago that I learned how to spin and I have been finding the joy and warm nostalgia of making yarns by hand in the way our ancestors did. While I am spinning this year's fiber, the animals are busy growing new fleece for next year's shearing.
Most spinners begin with wool.
It is an easy fiber to spin and even the first attempts of a beginner will produce a beautiful skein of yarn with an interesting handspun texture. Enjoy reading about this ancient craft and just maybe you will be inspired enough to consider rediscovering this tradition. You can be certain that it is a part of your own heritage.
