My Facination with Yarn & Fiber

I've always loved yarn and fibers, since I was very young. My Aunt Hi taught me to crochet a chain with my fingers, I'd make it so long it would get tangled, then we would ravel it out and I would start over. And so I was hooked. Years ago I started selling patterns, etc. on eBay and it soon followed to sell Mill Ends.

I found these were great for me. We lived in a small town with (can you believe it) no yarn stores. Only the dime store, I'm sure someone out there remembers dime stores, they carried the Red Heart brand of yarns and only a few selections of that. With no internet and no stores to buy yarns, I resolved to find something different to work with. With the few needlework magazines back then, I would send a letter for info and swatches and soon found that mill ends were the best for me. They were inexpensive and were different from the regular worsted yarns found at the dime store.

I've added a few pictures below of some of the yarns I sell now on eBay and on our small website, but I also knit and crochet with much of this type of fiber.
