GIVING BACK If you had told me in 2016, when we bought our Strauch carderĀ that I would be making a living by dyeing yarn and fibre or teaching people how to spin; I probably would have laughed at you. In the last three and a half years, we have grown so much. We have…

June 2019 Club Reveal – Rainbows
This is definitely a very bittersweet post to be writing. When I started club in February of 2017, I thought it would just keep going forever. I was constantly taking photographs that would serve as future inspiration and I loved creating something special each month. However, there comes a time when we need to examine…
April 2019 Club Reveal – Sunflower
Oh, Sunflowers. You remain one of my all time favourite flowers. I love the subtlety of your colours and how yellow fades to orange and then to pink. This is what I hoped to capture this month for club. The simple play between colours. This photo was one I took many, many years ago when…

February 2019 Club Reveal – Calm
I can’t believe we’ve reached the end of the month already. Really, where has February gone? For me, it’s been a blur of working on a number of different projects, in between getting ready for Fibres West, which is happening March 22 & 23 in Cloverdale. Will I see you there? I hope so! Without…
January 2019 Club Reveal – Reflection
It’s been almost two years since I started doing a monthly carded club. I am so grateful for the support and love you have all shown me. Thank you for taking a chance and trying new things. 2019 is shaping up to be a busy year and I have so many fun surprises in store…
November 2018 Club Reveal – Treasures
There are few things I love more than collecting treasures from the beach. It was something I did as a kid with my mom and my grandparents and it’s something I do with my kids now. I’m always intrigued by the colours and shapes you can find. This particular haul of rocks was a bunch…
September 2018 Club Reveal – Oh Chocolate!
Yikes… October 17th and I’m finally getting around to posting about September Club. I’m so sorry for the delay but with Knit City prep etc for the end of September, I just didn’t have time for much spinning! I took a slight deviation this month when I was looking for photos and chose one that…
July 2018 Club Reveal – Cornflower
This month, I wanted to play with some softer colours, so I went searching through my photographs and came across this Cornflower and thought it was perfect. The soft greens, blues and purples are some of my favourites and such a great analogous colour scheme. Basic club was Wensleydale and for luxury club, I blended…
