| Introduction | Sitting at my spinning wheel one day, I thought it would be good to share my love of spinning and knitting. Hence, The Woolly Mother came into existence, creating a place to indulge in the magical world of wool and fibre. A spinning wheel somehow arrived in front of me many years ago when I was living in New Zealand, and that was the beginning of a lifetime passion. I fell in love with wool and spinning. New Zealand was the perfect place to feed my new-found creativeness. Throwing myself into the world of wool was an exciting experience and out came the spinning wheel at every opportunity – needless to say, my stash grew very quickly until I had to find more places to keep fleece. I learnt to knit when I was very young and had produced some items over the years, but it wasn’t until I began spinning that it came into its own. It blends beautifully with the yarns I produce from the wheel and makes the whole experience very satisfying. Now I would like to share and teach these ancient crafts and hope that someone will also gain as much enjoyment from them as I do. |
