We are overwhelmed by the response to our first publication " Ideas & Patterns for Art Yarns, a Guide to using Textured Handspun Yarn".

We find joy in playing with the wide variety of quality fibers that other dedicated shepherds produce, along with all sorts of other fanciful materials that work their way into our imaginations and our yarns.
