About Your Spinster

Caricture of your spinster Thank you for taking the time to find out more out me and my work. I live in a beautiful area of north Texas with my family and, of course, my satin angora rabbits.



I have been spinning for almost 13 years now. I can blame the internet for starting me down this path. I had a stash of commercial yarns that would make any knitter proud. I also had far more UFO's (unfinished objects) than FO's (finished objects). And I wanted more, but it was getting very expensive.



Then I ran across spinning while wandering the world wide net and I took off and ran with it. I got rid of my UFO's, and sold off all my commercial yarns. I really thought it could be cheaper to spin my own! Let me assure you it is not.



I made my own cd spindle to see if I really liked doing it before investing in a wheel. I still use my cd spindles quite a bit and sell them as a kit as well. I find working with a spindle and the wheel equally satisfying, just different.



Today, I knit with only my own handspun yarns and I find UFO's are no longer a problem.



Then I discovered what joy can be brought to someone's life from spinning the hair and fur from from a pet. The family pet brings happiness and never says "boy, you look tired today". They accept you just the way you are.



We remember them through pictures, and video, and now yarn.
