Name:
Location: North Carolina, United States

I am a fiber farmer. I raise angora goats and shetland sheep. I process their fleeces and spin it into yarn. I also crochet, knit, and weave on a triloom. I am learning to needle felt and last, but not least, I write children's books.

Here are a few pictures of last weeks spinning efforts.
I call the first one Creek Moss. It is a wool mohair blend. The wool was a multi-toned brown and the mohair was dyed a bright golden green. This was spun on a drop spindle as there was so little of it, 33 yards of a 2 ply fingering weight.
This wool mohair blend is one of my favorite to work with, it spins like a dream, and the mohair gives it a nice halo effect. This is the same blend that I'm knitting the mysterystole from only in a different color.
