This is Miss Lacy, our Tortoiseshell Persian Cat. I got her from the Seattle Animal Shelter in 1994. She is tired because she helped us unpack. |

My husband, Lance Doyle, & I were blissfully wed on Valentine’s Day 1997 for the second time for each of us. My daughter (Alley), our cat (Miss Lacy), & I moved down to Fullerton, California with Lance, & became a family with Andrea, his daughter. In a very roundabout way, we found ourselves living in Walla Walla, WA, for business reasons. While living in Orangevale, CA, I took a spinning class at Rumplestiltskin’s in Sacramento & I found that I loved spinning fiber into yarn. I’ve spun many types of wool, alpaca (both Huacaya & Suri), llama, mohair, dog hair, Quivet, Hemp, Persian cat hair, & yak. I started spinning dog hair for the Alaskan Malamute Help League, a Malamute Rescue (Canada) & the Old English Sheepdog Rescue in Southern California was enjoyable because I could practice my craft, but help some dogs in need (as well as buying wool). The AMHL auctioned off a pair of mal-gora (99% Malamute/1% mohair) in 2002 for $129, & a large malgora afghan for $350, all to benefit the AM Rescue. Not sure what the OESR did with the yarn I spun for them. Now, I spin yarn for myself & others. I create hand-spun, hand-knit or hand-crocheted baby items, toys, & other items. I also knit/crochet items in acrylic for those who are allergic to wool, mohair or alpaca. I enjoy everything about the process: shearing, shaking out the vm (vegetable matter), scouring, drum card, then spin & make things. Sometimes I dye the fiber before or after I spin it as long as it’s dry when I do, then after I finishing spinning one ply (a single), I ply the singles into two or more plies depending how thick I want the yarn for the project I’m making. Then I wash it again to set the twist. The yarn is always soft & lofty so you can create your own sweaters & other garments, toys or accessories. Felting is another possibility as Icelandic wool felts easily, so you can make a felted purses or mittens. |
