Transcription

Well, my interest in spinning led me on a trip up to the Arctic. In particular, I was spinning qiviut, which is the fleece of the muskox. And I have a vest which I spun and wove or knitted with that fibre, which is one of the pictures I have. And I continued to be in touch with that lady who led the workshop. But that was a very enjoyable trip. And I have made other trips to Europe, Northern Europe, and always seek out fibre shops and see what their specialty is without any preconceived notions of what I'm looking for. I just like to see what's there.
