Decades of travel to over 30 countries has given me a deep appreciation for textiles and their history. Originally from Vancouver, Canada, I have lived in Australia, the UK, and now reside in New York City.

​

I make handspun yarns with wool from rare breed (endangered) sheep, plant fibers, and reclaimed & upcycled materials.

​

I have taught handspinning for guilds, the MidAtlantic Fiber Association, and the John C Campbell Folk School and have published articles in Ply Magazine and Shuttle, Spindle & Dyepot. My focus is on sustainability - did you know that the textile industry is one of the most polluting on the planet? I offer talks on how guilds can become more eco friendly.

I’m a member of the New York Guild of Handweavers and the president of the Handweavers Guild of America.
