My goal here is to create a resource for natural yarn and batts for my fellow fiber artists. Whether you knit, crochet, spin, felt, needle-felt or weave, I have a special handspun yarn for you.

I focus on creating yarns and batts from our herd of hand raised, naturally-colored animals: angora rabbits, cashmere goats, llamas, guanaco-crosses, various sheep, and our friends’ alpacas and even the occassional camel.

I spin a variety of yarns–everything from lace-weight angora, to super thick, or unique & textural, dyed & bead-bedecked artyarns. After sheering time this spring, I will also offer a variety of freshly carded batts for you spinners out there.

Check in often and see what’s new!

-Angela
