It is always fun (and a little fascinating!) to see how the products you love come to life. Each piece goes through several stages and a variety of skilled steps before it is ready to be enjoyed.
Take a look at the videos below for a little behind-the-scenes glimpse into the process of creating these unique handwoven products.
Spinning
I spin much of my own yarn, which helps make each piece truly unique. I love the natural variations that come with handspun yarn—they add character and are all part of what makes the finished products so special.
