The Spun Monkey Fiber Shoppe
Handspun yarn, funky nuno-felt wearables, handcarded batts and more, made with humanely sourced and sustainable fibers. Rock the fiber love, kiss some sheep!

A blog about all my creative obsessions. I can never settle on just one craft or art form. So I hand dye and card fiber and spin yarn. I make stuff from my yarn. I make Jewelry from all kinds of materials. I do some assemblage. I make the odd art doll. I make collages. I paint in oil and acrylic. I play with fimo. I also have schizophrenia and I write a bit about what that is like to live with and how it effects my creative process.

In which I live life and try to address the creativity that struggles to emerge amidst the constant everyday requirements of life. Focus on Spinning, Weaving, The Process, The History (really), the fun, the trials, Occasional lampwork, Seduction by Color and by the tactile lure of fiber and glass.

Sit & Spin!
Sit & Spin! is a place for edgy spinsters to link up and share their handspun novelty/art yarns. To be accepted into this community, you must be willing to break conventional spinning rules. Yarns must be spun with wild abandon or major attitude. If you've ever looked at safety pins, pompoms, shredded lace or fuzzy little easter chicks and thought "hey! I could spin that into my yarn!" then this is the community for you.
