per monthFirstly, I am a mom and wife. My husband, also our IT Support here at Wool n' Spinning, and I have two children, who have made appearances on the show: James, 5, and Norah, 3.5.
My passion lies in the field of fibre arts and making. I love making yarn, talking and chatting about the process, and teaching handspinning. I also have come to love technology, video editing and writing. I've always kept a journal and written short stories but now I channel some of those words into essays, blog posts and content here! This has been a welcome surprise.
Wool n' Spinning started out as a way to talk about the topics I wanted to talk about and has slowly become about creating community, fellowship and learning opportunities. Most of us are seeking to become better versions of ourselves and it is a pleasure to share that journey with you.
The pleasure of making yarn by hand can not be underestimated! You don't need a spinning wheel to do it and I love my spindling equally.
With my Patreons' support, creating more teaching materials, hosting giveaway and increasingly the time length of the podcast will be attainable!
Patreon offers me the chance to be compensated for the value of the content I produce, while still covering pesky costs like downloads, domain names, software and hardware, and tools to demo with for you. It keeps the YouTube channel ad-free and generates an income for me to be able to be at home, creating for you.
Having a Patreon campaign means we can work towards more live streaming opportunities, as well as audio, travelling in the future to teach workshops and retreats, and many other opportunities we haven't even thought of yet!

$1,108 of $1,500 per month
I love the idea of sitting together and spinning, fielding questions and just hanging out. "Evenings with Wool n' Spinning" will begin when we reach this milestone! Once per month, we will sit and spin together via the Live interface! How much fun will that be, patrons?!
