My interest in textiles started at an early age with fiber and spinning. I repaired my first wheel, which was in the family, with a jury-rigged knitting needle for a spindle and used carded wool from the Old Sturbridge Village mill.  Eventually I learned how to use hand cards and a treadle wheel.  My interest in weaving and loom technology came along a little later.  I have also since learned to spin just about any fiber and have several more wheels in my collection.  Recently, I have been spending time during the winter months helping to tend a herd of 500 suri alpacas in the UK.
