Nice to See You In Person

It's been far to long since we gathered our goodies and headed to a fiber festival. The excitement of getting ready is nearly overwhelming. So many details to iron out one of which is the game of Tetrus than insues as we attempt to get it all into the SUV. Before heading to BSG, Don decided we needed to rent a trailer to carry all that had been created in the past two years. Unfortunately he decided to find one the day before we were to pack. He managed to find the last one in Northern California and headed down the hill to get it.

Shows Cancelled! Support your local Fiber Artist buy direct

The efforts to stay safe from Covid-19 has meant the cancellation of so many of our fun fiber shows. While you stay safe at home and need to de-stress please consider supporting your local fiber artists and and growers by buying directly from them. Many have websites or a Facebook page and if they don't, you can find their contact information with Google. We are still processing, dyeing, combing/carding fiber, making the Fabulous Fiber Washing Bags so you can scour your own fleece.

Getting getting the Best Fleece!!!

It's Spring in California and that means lambing/kidding time and Shearing the Sheep. While I don't have a flock of my own...I whole heartedly support my friends who raise the most luscious fiber. From Alpaca to Wenslydale and soft to lustrous...this is the best time of year to support your local growers. If you want to get the best pick of the fleece then attend the shearing day and lend a hand. The very best of the lot get entered in Wool Shows to compete for first place Blue & Best of Show ribbons.

It's Live! Web Design for the Tech Challenged!

I love my SpinGlitz logo/business card because it is so me! My very talented sister, Melissa Martinez, created it for me several years ago. Her artistry captured my personality and business vibe perfectly. As a former television news anchor/reporter, turned Ballroom dance instructor and Fiber Artist. I’m either spinning on a dance floor or spinning yarn on a Spinning wheel. The Curlz MT font and giving every letter of my business name a different color represents the constant state of energy and movement that is my life.
