    LOL Love it! I’m stuck on the first step, but jumped ahead to washing fleece! This means I have a growing pile of washed locks and I still don’t know what I’m working towards so I can’t start spinning it. Shouldn’t have skipped a step, I think 🙂

Hi, I’m Sherrill, The 1764 Shepherdess.
I’m a maker based in the Pacific Northwest. With a love of wool, I have hosted spinning and fiber events and now find myself writing to encourage makers to slow down, work with intention, and reconnect with the history of crafting by hand. I look forward to having you join me on this journey!
