Jacqui, I just noticed your tagline. Your business. I would love to be in your business. I have only been spinning since March but I love it, I love knitting
with yarns I have spun myself. I will never use synthetic again (well except to make the afghan I promised my sister). I also have just learned to weave in
June. I picked at little rigid heddle loom. I wove a strap on it. I love it. And someday I hope to get something bigger. I want to do shawls and blankets.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi.
Blessings,debra
