Since becoming a handspinner more than 20 years ago, I can no longer knit with commercial yarn (something I did since a young girl). My only regret is that I didn’t know about spinning wheels until I saw one at a friend’s home in my 20’s. It was nearly 30 years later before my husband brought me an old secondhand Ashford traditional from a 2nd hand auction that I came into my own and have never looked back. I live in the city so have no sheep but dream about owning a small property with fibre animals. I’ve always made textiles with my hands, but there is something extraordinary about a freshly (or not even fresh) raw wool fleece. I too just love it, as you describe.

Thank you for doing what you do.
