I am a frequent user of yarn with an impressive 45-year run – I was knitting before I could even walk.*wink* I've got a soft spot for all things yarn, but wool? Well, that's my true love. For three years in Pennsylvania, my husband and I donned the roles of wool-whispering wizards at a living history museum. Picture this: me, sitting at an old spinning wheel spinning wool into yarn in a 1750 log cabin next to a crackling wood-burning fireplace while wearing a colonial costume. The result? Hand spun yarn infused with the rustic aroma of history and wood smoke. And guess what? People adored it! Inspired by the enchanting Pennsylvania scenery surrounding us, I conjured up a palette of yarn colors that mirrored the beauty of the museum's setting. I hand-dyed yarns containing these hues and sold them in the museum store alongside my hand knit creations. What took me by surprise was that I enjoyed being a seller. Blame that museum magic, but it turned me into a crafting entrepreneur. I dove headfirst into creating hand-spun and hand-dyed yarns, and I've been sharing my passion for wool on Etsy since 2009.
