I've been spinning for 18 years. Treadle wheel, charkha, great wheel, high whorl and supported spindles -they are all my favorites. I like wool, alpaca, silk, camel, flax and cotton, with a little mohair on the side. I would SO do lots more buffalo, cashmere, quiviut and vicuna if I were a millionaire. I have two current ambitions: to make an indigo dyed handspun linen dress and to really understand Peruvian braids.
In the past I've been mostly a knitter, but do more weaving with handspun now, due to insipient arthritis. I make clothes, mostly tops, but some small cold weather stuff like hats, gloves and mittens. I've made enough shawls to never need another for the rest of my life.
I have two kids - a 17 year old fashion designer/artist and a 15 year old Fragile-X/autistic boy with a great sense of humor and a software engineer, Red Sox loving husband. In my spare time from fiber arts, I garden - mostly perrenials, but I dabble with mixed results at vegetables and do computer manipulated nature photography.
