After being away for so long, I am very happy to announce the Grand Opening of our New Etsy Shop: HandmadeYarn
The Twisted Purl shop will be reopening soon with spinning fibers and other goodies, but HandmadeYarn was too good of a name to pass up.
Cyndi Minister is the owner, fiber artist, and crazy yarn lady behind The Twisted Purl.

We will be participating in the Hands On Arts Activities for all ages on Saturday, 10th from 10AM to 12PM. Two hours of non-stop fun and fiber frenzy action. At our station, you can try your hand at spinning yarn…either by drop spindle or by wheel. We will be bringing out ole Betsy, our first spinning wheel made out of PVC pipes and a plastic wheel chair wheel. There will be tons of fiber to feel and play with including merino, barn yard wool, tencel, cotton, and a surprise or two.

Rain has been flooding us out here! It seems like the gray days has put me behind in everything. You’d think with the lack of color outside I’d be spreading good cheer and brightness with some vibrant new yarns. Not so…look at my newest creation made straight from my drop spindle:
It may be gray, but it sure is pretty! It is tencil and merino. It has that lovely shimmer that the camera never captures correctly.
This new yarn has a dab of color. It’s 100% Merino and super soft. The colors are white, purple, and green. All looking rather washed out, as the weather has made us all feel!I am SOOOO ready for some football! New team for my oldest this year. He is now playing for our middle school team. Woohoo! His first game was last Saturday and we won. Oh yeah! Nice way to start off the season.
