Proud to be a partner of
The Campaign For Wool NZ
In the past 18 months I've learnt how to spin, dye and knit wool, in that order. And I'm now addicted. It's in my genes as Grandma was a founding member of the Taieri Spinners Club and my sister has always been involved in Creative Fibre. I'm from a sheep farm near Balclutha where Dad ran Romney sheep on for forty years.
​
I love over-dyeing Romney into vibrant solid colours and hand painting Merino Combed Top with protein dyes. I then combine these by spinning and plying to make unique yarns that are a joy to knit with. I'm a beginner knitter but I'd rather spend the time spinning than knitting.
​
If you are interested in learning more about spinning please visit me in my studio to pick my brain. I wholly recommend spinning as a calming meditative hobby. Unlike me, you don't have to try and monetise it! I just can't help myself (still putting off a real job).
