Wool n' Spinning Radio

Celebrating Handspun Yarn with Crystal Hesser


Listen Later

Dear Spinning Circle,

Today. On Wool n' Spinning Radio. Crystal Hesser is a well-known face around Wool n' Spinning but there are some who haven't had the absolute pleasure in meeting her, so I wanted to spend some time today introducing her to you. Throughout Tour de Fleece, she has been posting daily photos of her yarns as she spins them on her wheel, supported spindles and shares her ideas along the way.

Crystal shares her inspiration process, why spinning textured yarns is so important, and how to she started with supported spindles. Join me in welcoming Crystal to the show.

Because Crystal's yarns are both beautiful and inspirational, I have posted photos of the ones we talked about in this episode here

Where to Find Crystal:

  • Instagram as @spin_up_girl
  • Facebook as Crystal Hesser
  • Slack Channel as @Crystal Hesser

Thank you to Crystal for joining me today - I felt so inspired afterwards, wanting to pull my wheel out right away and starting playing again.

Until next time,

Keep Spinning!

Warmly,

Rachel
