Meet Laura Hayner. And Shadow. What a sweet doggie. She follows Laura everywhere.
She is spinning fleece of some local sheep.
Here’s a skein of some of her handspun yarn from a spinning workshop. It was a grab bag of different fibers and has a really cool and varied look to it.
Spoiler Alert for Christmas Gifts- Made in the U.S.A.- World’s Warmest Socks for Winter. I’m sure she’d be happy to send you some. They are thick and cushy. Perfect in a big boot or to wear around a drafty house.
Thanks Laura for welcoming us to your lovely shop. Love the name of your store.
Thanks for showing us your logo. My sister likes the buttons she bought, too.
I enjoyed seeing your spinning and will enjoy knitting all the yarn I bought and shipped to myself. It’s great you get your fiber from local ranches and farms- 4R Ranch in Tonasket and Good Farms in Okanogan for two.
This is such a wonderful lost art. What a beautiful woman to show us how she ‘does it’. Awesome!! XOXO – Bacon
Yes, I only wish I had taken a video. Next time. Thanks for your good words.
A special talent!
OOh another lovely yarn shop! Did you see my buttons?
Tell me about your buttons, Gilly.
I tagged you a couple of days ago!
Oops, I missed it. So glad you told me as I went back and saw those fabulous buttons.
The mom of a friend from my childhood had a spinning wheel in her house – and I got to try it every now and again. It’s not easy!
So cool you have done it. WOW.
