Dear Spinning Circle,

Today. On Wool n’ Spinning Radio. Debbie Held is a freelance journalist that I had the immense pleasure meeting in person in 2022, after following each other online for many years. Debbie’s love of blending boards started in 2015 when she began playing with this humble fibre preparation tool and began pushing it to its limit. While our conversation covered many topics about how Debbie began her spinning journey with a spindle from a friend in a time of need, to writing her book, The Spinner’s Blending Board Bible, to reflecting on what might be next, we really had a discussion about life. What will each of us do when the going gets tough? Truly, Debbie’s answer is that the tough get going. Her work is incredible and hope you have a look at her Instagram account, @doodler01.
