Etsybtsy began as an eclectic mix of farm-related items. I create several products and have sold a variety of them in this shop, including soap, textiles and seeds. Over time, my fiber addiction grew and my knitting hobby turned into an obsession. It wasn't long before I was spinning my own yarn. Everything you see in my shop, I use myself, so it was only natural to share what I enjoy with others.

One of my favorite aspects of creating yarn is starting with the raw product, straight from the sheep. If possible, I like to source my fleece from local flocks, especially if I can be present on shearing day. I love getting to know the animals that provide me with their wool. It makes creating a finished product much more personal.

My background is in fine jewelry and I am a guild gemologist by trade. Having worked with jewelers tools, making stitch markers has been a natural progression. My husband of many years is a horse farrier and blacksmith, so I also use his equipment for hand forging and hammering many of the supplies that I offer. During the day, he makes horseshoes on his anvil and forge and at night, I use those tools to make goodies for you to enjoy.

I am happy to work with people one on one to make custom items. Thank you for reading more about my shop!
