Introduction to Art Yarn

Spend time creating two types of textured yarns. Learn how to incorporate different materials into the yarn and how to use different plying techniques. Art yarn anyone?

I fell in love with the art of spinning in 2019. I started with alpaca fibre. Being from Bolivia, it was in my DNA to learn how to work with fibres. Over time, I extended my knowledge base by integrating sheep fibre. I now proceed to every step of the fiber transformation starting with cleaning, carding, dyeing and all the way to the production of a finished product, be it an artistic baĴ for spinning or a unique artistic yarn for crochet work, kniĴing, or weaving. Most of the fibre I use comes from local farms in Canada.
