I started my shop by accident lol. I really loved to crochet with hand spun yarns & my curiosity was peaked. I started wondering about how the yarn was made so I bought some beautiful hand dyed locks to play with. I quickly realized I would need some hand carders. That led to many peaceful enjoyable hours of carding and then eventually buying a drum carder. My friends were super supportive and kept raving about my batts and wanting to buy them. I reluctantly put them into the shop and I was so surprised when they sold!
The yarns started out coming from sweaters that I could take apart from thrift stores. At first I dyed them with Kool-aid. I got some cool colors but I worried about how long the color would stay. I decided that I should invest in some real dyes instead to be more professional. I also realized that buying my fiber from other people & my yarns in sweater form would not really work for the actually going into business. So I got a few wholesale accounts, my federal tax id # and now you know the story of my life!
