Something New!

This week we would like to share something with you! Perhaps you already know about our Fiberygoodness Yarn Recipe series (for sale in our shop), these are spin techniques largely developed by myself (Woolwench/Suzy) and Arlene (the awesome SpinArtiste). They have included quite a variety of spin recipes and one of my favourites has been Arlenes ‘Helix’ yarn, a method of integrating locks into a ply. I love including the concept and activity of weaving into everything I do 🙂 Well

How We Change

How We Change

Last week Arlene posted about being stuck and working through some of the creative slumps we all get into sometimes. So this week we thought I should follow this up with a little look at something else that happens with all of us during our creative lives, and that is change. I think this is something that can help cause those many WIPs to come about, you know, you start a project, and for whatever reason it gets put aside.

Spin to Ply

Its my turn to write a blogpost  this week (Suzy), and I would like to share something with you about spinning, more specifically about plying. This is actually a document that we created to send out along  with our first set of yarn recipe cards, and I think its useful for anyone who wants to ply once, twice, three times, even ten times.. if you want to add texture to your yarns, create unique combinations of colour and form, and

Fiberygoodness On the Road

This week I (Suzy) am having a wonderful time visiting with Arlene and the US headquarters of Fiberygoodness (Arlenes Studio). This is a big treat and it is, of course, fantastic to have this time to share together after the last 12 months of working together online only.  And I wanted to share with you too, because today Arlene took me for a wonderful experience at a nearby attraction, the Winterthur Mansion and gardens that once belonged to the DuPont

Majacraft Fusion Engine Drum Carder: A WoolWench Review

Imagine this; big luscious handfuls of your favourite fibers, silks and sparkles, spreading them out with your fingertips to loft them up.. the little pops as the fibers let go of each other and the locks spread into crimpy cotton candy puffs.. And then.. then! Feeling them bounce up gently against your palm as you lay them onto the beautiful wood-grained feed tray of this brand new carder, and next… silence and surprise, and here I can’t say ‘as you

Stories!

We are into the second year of running the Journey to the Golden Fleece course now, and there have been some amazing experiences and rewards to both Arlene and I during this time. We have been blessed with the opportunity to share in the process and creative activities of the course participants, and been allowed to discover insights and learn about them in quite profound ways. Today I would like to share with you a story that one of the participants

SideTracktion

I like to think we all get this. Doesnt matter if not, because I can pretend to myself very well that ‘everyone’ gets sidetracked, its not unique, I am not the only one who struggles with it… SIGH Well last week Arlene posted about being stuck -v – resting. She very rightly pointed out that we need to take breaks, to rest, to allow ourselves the time and space to get over being stuck and move on revitalised. Well in
