Hello Everyone! Here is a video describing part of the process of yarn from a raw fleece. This is after washing. I use Redding Method created by Natalie Redding, owner of Namaste Farms.
I have been focused on my other venture Dreamspace Natural Therapeutics-Continuing Education for massage therapists dreamspaceseminars.com, so I have not been doing a lot with fiber arts, but I am starting some more work with fleece lately because of some orders coming up for Christmas.
I've decided to start doing some short videos just for fun to share my process.

Have fun!
Thanks for reading and watching.

Help me wish Suzi well with the new year and branching out with her own brand: Art by Suzi McDuff. Suzi is an amazing artist, art teacher and muralist. Suzi brings so much beauty to the world, and although Cascadia Yarn & Art Company will miss her daily presence in the virtual world, but the "real world" really needs Art by Suzi McDuff the most! Good luck Suzi!!!

Below: some of Suzi's art completed for Worthy Coffee Co.
