About Me

hello! i sell yarn for knitting and crochet on my website: www.highstrungyarns.com . i'm just starting out and so far, it's been fun! i live in austin where there's 2 yarn shops (soon to be 3) that are awesome sources of fine yarn. i'd like to serve those that don't have local yarn shops and i'd also like to offer yarns that your local yarn shops have looked over. i'm always interested to find out who's creating their own yarn too. i'd like to learn to spin my own one day...

My Interests

searching the world for different yarns to sell (not that yarn you find in big box retail stores). so far my favorites are ROOSTER YARNS from the UK LIISU YARNS from north carolina, FABLE HANDKNIT from canada ...and RIO DE LA PLATA .

I'd like to meet:

lovers of knitting, crochet, and YARN.

Television:
