About Stephanie:

Stephanie’s obsession with fiber started way back in 1997 while sitting next to a delightful woman on a British Airways flight from London Heathrow to NYC who was knitting a baby blanket. She asked a few questions, came home, bought yarn, and taught herself to knit through many, many trials and tribulations! 

After many years and quite a few terrible finished objects, the needles and yarn finally clicked. Which spurred an interest in how yarn is made;  a drop spindle was bought and then a wheel;  a plethora of yarns were made.  Such a plethora there was no way little old Stephanie could knit them all!  Yarns were stacking up in the corners and had to find new homes where they would be loved, used, and cherished. They were listed online and to her delight...  ALL SOLD! 

Stephanie bought more fiber, taught herself to dye it, spun it up, and thought maybe, just maybe people might like to buy fiber too.  This got her to thinking: perhaps she should try to dye and sell mill spun yarn? From that, she has snow-balled and is so grateful for everyone who has supported her throughout the years.
