I am a woodworker who creates hand-crafted, heirloom quality, wooden spindles… & I am also a fiber artist. From processing raw fleeces, through every step of connecting with the fiber & my beautiful spindles, to creating a textile piece, I continually deepen my love for all aspects of fiber arts.

Oh this Finnsheep from CandLGrey Farm is such a dreamy fawn color. I’ll be sharing a very limited amount of batts of this gorgeous, airy soft fleece soon!

A group of recent wish list custom order spindles. I’ll be working on public offering spindles this week.

Today, me & my frustration did some scouring. It helped a bit. This is Soley, the white Gotland yearling from High Hill Gotland 🤍 Pure white except for a little light grey on a few of the tips 🤤

3oz. on my Lignum Vitae longwool spindle… the last few grams were a bit of a struggle 😂 Unwinding into a ply ball & on to the next batt. ‘Casita’ & ‘Scarlett’ Romney from Barinaga Ranch & Gotland lamb.

A very special treat from High Hill Gotland… instead of the common Gotland grey, this yearling, Soley, is mostly bright white with such a lustrous sheen 🤍

Gorgeous, my friend! I think you did an amazing job on both! I’d be super happy with the results as well!
I just love the feel of her Romney! I’m so so glad that you also love Marcia’s fleeces 🤍

Beautiful Figured Kansas Black Walnut, made from wood brought to me from Kansas by my Uncle Jim - who happens to be an incredibly talented woodworker 🤍 So much character in this special Walnut.

I'm a 3rd gen woodworker & my Uncle Jim (from KS), makes the most incredible custom furniture…& when he comes to CO to visit, he brings me some of his hand picked highly figured Black Walnut 🤤
