Sarah Knits and Weaves

Hi

I'm Sarah and I'm glad you're here to see my site, have a look around, it's always changing. I'm a young fiber artist just getting started selling my work. I have been knitting about three years and weaving for a year. To see more information about a picture click on the text above the picture instead of on the picture itself. Feel free to leave comments on blog entries or pictures and to email me through the site at any time.

Don't ask.

326 yards of handspun 2/2 cable (so 4 ply) yarn. Light sock weight, great for small socks, a lace smoke ring or small scarf. Merino Wool, Tussah Silk, and Camel fiber.

$100

Since I started spinning I haven't bought much yarn. What yarn I have bought has been feltable wool for purses to sell. I love making them, and there really are a lot of options in wools of that thickness (usually worsted and a bit of bulky). But I recently have found myself desperately wanting to try some new commercial yarns.

I bought a double treadle Lendrum folding wheel made out of Walnut. This wheel was only made in 2001 and doesn't come up for sale a lot. It completely meets my specifications and I'm ecstatic. I can't wait for it to get here so I can spin spin spin till daddy takes the lendrum away.

I promise I'll take pictures and let you know how wonderful it is.

Spending time with so many weavers and then spinning daily and posting on forums about it has caused me to think about some tools I want

Lendrum Spinning Wheel. I've spent the last six months figuring out what wheels I like and which ones I don't. I know that space wise I want a folding upright, and I really liked the accessories available for this one. I would also get the fast flyer head.

Generic midgrade wool in primary colors spun on Majacraft Suzie.

Wow, long time no update.
