HOT MAMA!



We often brew up a batch of tea on Fridays and/or Saturdays available for sampling.  Stop by and try some!

HANDSPUN SCARF:
I found this beautiful dark brown natural wool with just a few white strands and spun it up on my Lendrum spinning wheel; then divided the skein in half.  Next, I took some hand-dyed wool and needle felted colorful little hearts and strung them on some cotton.  I gathered up some other interesting fibers and plied the yarn with the hearts and other fibers creating lots of kinks and coils in the finished yarn.  After setting the twist and allowing the yarn to dry, I knit the yarn into this scarf!  What do you think?
