Heather of Girl with a Hook is a small batch wool dyer and spinner known for using bright, bold color and unique textures. She starts with wool top or from scratch with locally sourced wool that she scours, dyes, and spins up into one of a kind art yarns. Heather has been spinning yarn for almost 20 years and has quite a few favorite spinning techniques. She’s uses more of a “try and see” method of spinning and less of a “this is technically how you do it” method.
