About Me
- Barbara King
- The world of fiber is truly wonderful... It all started in the early 80s when my friend Kim decided to sell her 4-harness loom. "Incredible", was my thought. I always wanted to learn to weave. I bought the loom and with it Kim included boxes and boxes of yarn. That's how it started. Then came workshop after workshop to learn as much as I could about the fiber arts: weaving, needlepoint, crochet, tatting, spinning, fiber production, hand knitting, knitting machines, design software and production knitting. I've been at it for 20 odd years and I can not imagine my life without yarns and needles. I decided to name my store/studio THE YARNWINDER in honor of my mother-in-law. Way back as a newly wed, I started collecting primitive antiques; and one Christmas she gave me a 150 year old skein winder--the one pictured above.
