Yarnspider left a comment for Kathy"Hi Kathy,
Welcome to the wonderful world of fibre. The yarns you saw on my site are pretty much all spun by me. I started serious knitting, couldn't see what I wanted and before I knew it I was spinning my own. I do have an Etsy shop if you…"

- About Me:
- I am a total fibre addict! If I'm not kntting it, I'm spinning it or weaving it.... I have been told there are other things in life, apart from fibre and yarn, but this only leaves me feeling confused and bewildered, so I don't listen!
I have a blog about fibre, an Etsy shop devoted to fibre and I spend lovely hours everyday on Ravelry...... a total lost cause really!

- Hi Yarnspider: My name is Kathy and I am new to knitting. I love the colors of yarn shown on your web page of peach-yellow etc. Where can such fine yarns be purchased. I am new to knitting, however, there are certain colors and I don't know much about Alpaca yarn, but I sure would love to try and knit some time! I live in Baltimore, Maryland and I have knitted plenty of scarves, however, I am taking lessons so that I can knit a sweater and I am thinking of using Alpaca. Any ideas on an easy pattern for a beginner?? Thanks for your response!! Kathy
