Long Thread Media’s Farm & Fiber Knits magazine interviewed Joan recently. We thought you’d enjoy reading it. Click here or on the photo to go to their story.
It is hard to believe that a quarter century has passed since we first opened Heritage Spinning and Weaving. So many adventures, friends, classes, gatherings and projects shared. Certainly not without tough times (the economic downturn in 2008, Covid), we have not only survived but thrived. Without a doubt, the favorite part of our story is the community of fiber lovers that has been created. We gather around the “sock room” table in all colors, creeds and political persuasions. We are not divided and welcome all. Heritage is a happy place–for how can you be sad when surrounded by skeins of yarn and walls of color? Be sure to subscribe to our newsletter to keep up to date on anniversary happenings.
We carry all the colors of Jamieson Spindrift and Jamieson and Smith yarns for Fair Isle (and other) knitting. In addition we also have Jamieson Ultra Lace and J&S cobweb. and all the colors of J&S Heritage yarns, a semi-worsted spun two-ply fingering yarn that is of a slightly finer gauge than the jumper weight yarns. Perfect for hard wearing gloves and mittens when you are willing to knit on finer needles.
We also stock many of the traditional Norwegian knitting and weaving yarns from Rauma. Patterns for their yarns are now available on Ravelry in both contemporary and traditional designs. We have a nice selection of Rauma yarns: Baby Panda (a traditional baby weight machine washable fine wool), yarns for rug weaving including Rya, Prydvevgarn 2 ply and Aklegarn. Yarns for general hand knitting including Strikkegarn (DK), Finullgarn (fingering), Gammelserie (fingering, spun a bit tighter than Finull) and Tumi which is fingering/sport weight.
