I am so excited to introduce
Cat & Sparrow Fibres, a collaboration of fibre creations between two friends: Cat (me) and Sparrow (a.k.a. Rachael Prest of
The Sparrow Makes). Rachael and I met when I bought her wheel last year, yes you may remember the excitement I had
when I acquired "Charlotte" the Ashford traditional. Rachael was the seller who very understandingly let me took the wheel there and then, and we have become friends since. As we both experimented with creating fibre and yarn we thought it would be a good idea to team up and sell at local makers' markets, and
Cat & Sparrow Fibres was born.
Last Sunday we took part in our first big market at the
Gisborne Olde Time Market and we had a ball!
The turn out was great and we all made sales, and I even got my first commission! A lady who didn't spin fell in love with some of my batts and commissioned me to spin them up for her :-)
Rachael wrote our first blog posting in
Cat & Sparrow and we also started our Facebook page, link is
here. We'd love it if you could give us some encouragement and "like" our page :-)
Wow, who could have thought buying a spinning wheel on eBay would lead into this exciting fibre adventure!
Thanks for dropping by, there is more fibre arts fun at
Wisdom Begins in Wonder. Indulge your creative side and join the party!
