Thanks for sharing the info about the indie fiber folks! It’s very helpful to have a little introduction to the terrain – I would definitely like to support more indie dyers and spinners. Finding them is the first step!
It’s great to see that your blog has developed into a way of connecting (and connecting others) with the fiber community over time. Very awesome. 🙂 I’ve often thought about how important it is to find and make a community of like-minded folks beyond the workaday world. It’s important to nurture the things we love and explore the possibilities. 🙂
And the blue 3-ply and the fractal yarn are both really gorgeous. Wow, what splendid colours!

Awesome! Glad it’s helpful–it is hard to figure out where to begin on Etsy! I love these dyers and know many of them in passing from the fiber world. Great work all of them. And thanks for the comment about the spun yarn–I love that Faulkland!
