I am an experienced hand knitter and spinner, with a particular focus on spindle spinning.

I love the simplicity of these tools and the fact that they were used for millennia, prior to the Industrial Revolution, to produce every textile that humans ever made.

I am gradually developing my skills at weaving, on both my eight-shaft table loom and my rigid heddle loom; another simple tool that can produce great results.
