Megan has been spinning wool and other fibres since 2001. Over the years, she has developed a passion for exploring the many possibilities that wool offers as a material. Her approach is characterized by a willingness to push the boundaries of the fibre’s versatility, always seeking new ways to highlight its unique qualities.
