I AM NOT AN AMAZON AFFILIATE

Although I have recommended Amazon products for years, and may still have some active links on this website that I have missed, I am no longer affiliated with that vile company in any way. They are the Borg,  just as people have said for years. I will be spending time over the next months finding alternative ways for you to purchase products that I recommend on this site. 

I AM, however, affiliated with the following, reputable companies, which means that clicking on one of the ads below helps me pay for the upkeep of this website, and comes with heartfelt thanks from me! -- Kelley

About the Author

"My name is Kelley, and I've been a fiber artist for over 50 years. I am a maker, a writer, an actor, a storyteller, and a teacher, with a degree in History. I teach all types of fiber art, to students of all ages, including spinning, dyeing, eco-printing, felting, knitting, tatting, embroidery, basket making, crocheting, weaving, and papermaking. I raised sheep and goats for over 12 years. I currently live in an old stone church in beautiful Colorado with my boyfriend, 2 cats, one hounddog, and a noisy conure parrot, but no sheep at all.
