You know you love them, I do too. Spinning fiber clubs are such a fun way to not just get a fun treat in the mail every month but also a great way for new and seasoned spinners to push they’re boundaries and try new things! I know this was how I fell in love with this craft myself. This is one of my most requested video topics and I finally got around to recording it here for you. Check out our “Fiber Artist Design Bundle” in the video and transcript below. We’re so proud of our small farm spinning fiber clubs and we hope you will too.

You pull them out because they don't make for a nice, smooth, clean yarn. Don't throw those bits away! Below I am going to share with you a few creative and eco friendly ways you can use your unspinnable wool.
