My pursuit began around 2010 when I put my passion for wool (in the form of knitting, upcycling and wet felting) on display at a few local markets and fairs.

I keep learning about the magic of wool.
I am winding down my career as a registered nurse and have found joy, tranquility and comfort being surrounded by wool. I hope you love what I churn out as much as I enjoy making it!
