The more I know about fibers, the more I appreciate working and playing with them. I’m guessing the same is true for you, which is why you’re here! I hope you’ll join me on my newest exploration: my series of Fiber Guidebooks.
When I finished researching and writing The Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook and The Field Guide to Fleece, I knew I had only begun to satisfy my curiosity about the fibers and the animals I had been studying. One of the reasons that I teach the Explore 4 retreats in Washington state is to give myself a framework and deadline for preparing additional research—as well as wonderful people to share it with! And time to play with the fibers.
Part of my preparation in the Explore 4 retreat process is to create fiber guidebooks for each of the topics we’ll study during the retreat; I print them on high-quality paper in bound format and bring one for each participant. I know it’s not possible for everyone to attend an Explore 4 retreat with me each year, so I’ve decided to bring a taste of Explore 4 to the rest of the world and offer these guidebooks for sale.
Although I’ve been working with textiles my entire life and spinning, manipulating, and studying fibers for literally decades, this research gives me the opportunity to discover new depths of information and to dig into, and provide background for, common misconceptions. When I write for magazines, my reference lists are most often either abbreviated or eliminated. The publications I offer here include footnotes and resource lists (which I hope I have formatted so that they support, yet don’t interfere with, my presentation of the intriguing facts that I’ve unearthed).
The handouts are heavily illustrated, because I find photos and diagrams extremely helpful to my understanding. For example, I love maps.

What’s included in the Fiber Guidebooks?
The guidebooks range in size from 8 to 16 square pages (now and then one may get longer), and all are double-sided and in full color. You have the option to purchase a print version or a PDF digital version, whichever you prefer. The Etsy links yield only PDF digital files; the MagCloud links yield print + PDF versions. The pricing is the same—Etsy is offered as a convenience for those who don’t want to pay for printing and postage; if you would like to print a single copy from the PDF for your own use, permission is granted (this is to help out folks for whom postage would be prohibitive). I ask that you respect my copyright and share with others as you would a printed book: you can let a friend take a look, but if someone wants to fully read or use an item, please ask them to purchase a copy.
NOTE: There are three documents under “General Knowledge,” below, that are free in their digital formats, because they contain information that I think we all need: Species-Landrace-Breed, Wool Types, and Rare Sheep Breeds.
The current topics include:
Guides to Fiber—Sheep Breeds:
Sheep breed: Black Welsh Mountain— As I began to write about these sheep, a current Wikipedia page stated the common misconception that “[t]he Black Welsh Mountain is a colour type of the Welsh Mountain sheep.” If you believe this, then you will start with a wrong impression of both these sheep and their wool. The Black Welsh Mountain has been bred since medieval times to have dark, non-fading fleeces that don’t require dye (they do sunburn a bit on their tips). In addition, the Black Welsh Mountain wool is finer, more consistent, and significantly freer of kemp than that of their varying white counterparts. Considering these sheep involves taking into account absolute population size (the actual numbers of sheep) and effective population size (the measures of inbreeding), along with ways to make the most of the genetic diversity that’s available in a group. There’s a lot about genetics in this document. For the wool: you can find Black Welsh Mountain fleeces that are a bit rough and you an also find some that are quite soft. The results depend on what the shepherd is breeding for. (12 pages, $10.)
Sheep breed: Bluefaced Leicester—The most modern of the three Leicester breeds, Bluefaced Leicesters (BFLs) happened as a byproduct of breeding Border Leicesters. They’ve been a real boon to the fiber world, and a marketing success, offering soft fibers that have luster and reasonable durability. (8 pages, $8.)
Sheep breed: Bond— As I began working on this study of Bond sheep and their wool at the start of 2024, I found myself facing two questions: (1) Will Bond fleeces continue to be available to handcrafters, especially in the range of colors the breed supports? and (2) does it matter whether they are or not? My answers to the first question are in limbo. My answer to the second is, without going further, a resounding yes. Bond is a medium wool that feels soft, and if bred for natural colors offers a lot of variety. (8 pages, $8.)
Sheep breed: Border Leicester— If the three Leicester sheep breeds were siblings, the Border Leicester would be the middle child. The three Leicester sheep breeds are all related, although they have distinctive wool types. The Border Leicester is the most versatile of the bunch: great for sweaters, blankets, mittens, hats, and other super-functional projects. (12 pages, $10.)
Sheep breed: Boreray—This is one of two rare breeds that originated in St Kilda, a small cluster of islands about forty miles west of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, and a hundred miles west of the Scottish mainland (the other breed from these islands is the Soay). (8 pages, $8.)
Note: Due to access to new research, I’ll be updating this document. If I can figure out a way to get the new version to people who already have it, I’ll do that; at present, I’m not sure the available platforms make that possible.
Sheep group: British Finewools—Multiple efforts over several centuries to establish a fine-wool breed, like Merino, in the British Isles failed due to the incompatibility of these types of sheep with any of the broad variety of environmental conditions. Finally, the late 20th and early 21st centuries saw two successes: the Bowmont, an experimental combination of Merino and Shetland from Scotland, and an Australian Superfine Merino flock. This document looks at the history of attempts from the 13th century on and talks a lot about micron (micrometer) counts. (20 pages, $12.)
Sheep breed: California Red—Two rare breeds (American Tunis and Barbados Blackbelly) were bred together in the interest of making a new option that would not need shearing. Surprise! California Reds grow lovely, versatile fleeces, some of which (but not all) contain smatterings of red hair. (8 pages, $8.)
Sheep group: Cheviot family—The Cheviot breeds combine distinct characteristics and niches with confusing names and histories. They were one of the hardest sets of breeds to sort out for The Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook, and in working on them at the time I reached a small plateau of knowledge. I’ve taken an opportunity now to look more deeply at the Border (South Country) Cheviot, North Country Cheviot, Brecknock Hill Cheviot, and American Miniature Cheviot, with a few notes on the Wicklow Cheviot. There are others, of course, but these provide a foundation for showing how a single initial breed gave rise to several others, each with multiple names (and some with several subtypes). While the sheep have certain body characteristics in common and all grow wool suitable for making blankets, sweaters, mittens, hats, and even rugs, you could (and I did) spend large chunks of another year discovering both the commonalities and the differences between the breeds. I still have some questions, but the current plateau is a lot higher than the previous one. (28 pages, $15.)
Sheep breed: Cormo—This modern breed resulted from an original crossing of Merino and Corriedale, followed by strict selection based on production values. The fine fleece is, by breed specifications, extremely consistent. (8 pages, $8.)
Sheep breed: Dorset Down—Tracking this breed’s history has been a fascinating challenge! The youngest of the six classic Down breeds from England, its origins were the most obscure. I wasn’t able to resolve questions about the Dorset Down when we were working on The Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook, so I was glad to have an opportunity to spend several months on the puzzle. (16 pages, $10.)
Sheep breed: Finnsheep— The modern Finnsheep combines lovely fiber quality—in multiple natural colors—with prolificacy, which means the lambs tend to be born in multiples. This study puts the modern Finns in their historical context, compares them to the older breeds from the area, and introduces their lovely fleeces. (8 pages, $8.)
Sheep breed: Florida Cracker—The Florida Cracker is one of a handful of wool-growing breeds of sheep that can handle a hot, humid, predator-abundant environment. For a while, the question hung in the air whether Florida Cracker and Gulf Coast Native were the same breed, or separate. Recently it has been determined definitively that they are separate. This document tells that story, and also features the breed’s appealing wool. There’s a lot of historical content here: quotes from old books, old maps of Florida, and other things I find interesting and hope you do, too. Lacking data on the wool’s characteristics, I also sent samples of the first three fleeces I received to the lab, and I show locks and talk about the results I received–and how those fleeces spun up into yarns. (20 pages, $12.)
Sheep group: Gotland, including Gute, Gotland, Stansborough Grey, and American Gotland— The Gotland story involves not one but four related breeds of sheep in the Northern short-tail lineage that have ties back to the Swedish island of Gotland, located in the Baltic Sea. Each of these breeds fills a unique cultural, and in some cases environmental, niche. First came the Gute or Goth sheep, the ancestor of the others. The Gotland, a more modern breed, arose next. Some Gotlands traveled to New Zealand, by way of Denmark, and were transformed to the Stansborough Grey (noted for contributing fiber for garments in a number of films, including the Lord of the Rings series). Finally, the American Gotland has been developed through a process called upgrading or upbreeding, which result sin a breed similar, but not identical, to the Gotland of Sweden. They all produce spinnable fibers. The Gute is the most mixed and challenging; the other three grow sleek, lustrous fleeces that bring to mind the qualities of Bluefaced Leicester. (12 pages, $10.)
Sheep breed: Herdwick— It is unclear when or from where Herdwicks arrived in the landscape to which they are exquisitely adapted, in northwestern England. Their fleeces mix wool, hair, and kemp–the components of tweed fabrics and carpets, and not normally considered for hand processing or use. But they can be surprisingly fun to work with and stretch our creative muscles to think of applications! Lots here about their champion, Beatrix Potter. (24 pages, $12.)
Sheep breed: Karakul—The mainstays of rug- and felt-making for thousands of years, Karakuls have been unfortunately overlooked by most contemporary fiber workers. It’s an amazing fiber, full of color and possibility and with a deep back story. (8 pages, $8.)
Sheep breed: Lincoln Longwool— Lincolns are one of the English luster longwool breeds, and there was a time when Lincolns were the largest sheep in the British Isles and possibly the world. Although today individual animals from other breeds may exceed their size, Lincolns can still be right up there in the record books. Along with their mass, they have docile—yet intelligent and even mischievous—personalities. Their fleeces are strong, long, and lustrous, often shorn twice a year to produce manageable lengths of fiber. They are exquisite for making rugs and tapestries (as well as for dolls’ wigs and Santa beards), but with careful processing and management can be worked into garments as well. Recounting their story involved looking into the deep history of sheep in the British Isles, including a lot of discussion of archaeology and landscapes. (20 pages, $12.)
Sheep breed: Manx Loaghtan—Home base for the Manx Loaghtan sheep is the Isle of Man, located in the Irish Sea between Wales and Ireland. The island has been inhabited for more than eight thousand years, and this Northern short-tailed breed arrived some time long in the past. Its story is one of both conservation and genetic limitation: the breed’s survival depended on an advocate who loved the brown color that is recessive in the breed, and cultivated it to the exclusion of all the original colors. So all Manx Loaghtan sheep are now brown. The breed’s story also includes its importance to the human inhabitants of the island and the economic sacrifices they have chosen to make to secure its health in more recent times. As a conservation grazer, the breed is also linked to salvaging environments for wildlife species. (12 pages, $10.)
Sheep breed: North Ronaldsay—These are the rare seaweed-eating sheep from Orkney, a set of islands off the north coast of mainland Scotland. Their situation blends history, geography, and questions of human settlement and population patterns. It’s been going for a few thousand years and warrants our attention today. (8 pages, $8.)
Sheep breed: Panama— When Carol Ekarius and I were doing the research for The Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook, we learned about, but could not find fiber for, a breed called Panama. It was developed from the same combination of breeds, Lincoln and Rambouillet, but the reverse of the cross that produced the more readily obtained Columbia. This document tells the story of the breed, explains why we couldn’t find any even though the sheep exist, and talks about transhumance, which is the long-standing practice of moving animals seasonally. (16 pages, $12.)
Sheep breed: Perendale— The Perendale is one of three breeds developed to handle specific New Zealand environments, in this case the dry hills of the North Island. (The breeds that originated on the South Island are the Coopworth and the Corriedale.) Sir Geoffrey Peren of what is now Massey University directed their origin, and has an overall remarkable story. The sheep grow lovely mid-grade wools. (8 pages, $8.)
Sheep breed: Romanov— The Romanov is one of the Northern short-tailed breeds, with several unusual qualities relating to productivity, maternal instincts, and wool quality and harvesting. For shepherds who want a small flock, Romanovs are the wrong breed! They’re noted for having litters of lambs, instead of the usual singles or twins (and occasional triplets). Another breed with this capacity is the Finn. Romanov wool sheds, and consists of a mix of fiber types. This document covers where Romanovs originated; when, why, and how they got established in North America; and how to approach wool fibers that initially seem unappealing but can be turned into serviceable and interesting yarns. (16 pages, $12.)
Sheep breed: Southdown— Not only is the Southdown one of the six core Down breeds of sheep, this breed forms the foundation of the group, being the oldest and having contributed to the development of the other five. Southdown fleeces are on the fine end of medium wools and tend to be unusually crimpy and bouncy. They’re fun to work with. This study looks at Southdown history, including issues of size (how big IS a Southdown?), where the natural colors are, and why we don’t (but should) see more of this wool in commercial yarns. (24 pages, $12.)
Sheep breed: Targhee —The originators of the Targhee envisioned a sheep suited to the open country of the western United States that would be a dual-purpose breed, yielding both high-quality wool and meat. While looking at these sheep in general, we’ll focus on the subset of information relating to the fleeces. (12 pages, $10.)
Sheep breed: Valais Blacknose —“The world’s cutest sheep”: When Valais Blacknose photos started appearing on the internet, it was hard to believe they were real: they looked like stuffed animals. They are, of course, quite real and very pleasant animals. This document looks at the breed’s source environment in Switzerland and the means by which it has been introduced to the United States, initially by upgrading or upbreeding and more recently by embryo transplant. Valais Blacknose wool varies from pleasant to crispy. (24 pages, $12.)
Guides to Fiber—Camelids:
Camelid: Huayaca alpaca—This is the “base” document on alpacas, with a lot of background information on alpacas in general as well as details about huacaya alpacas, which are the most common kind. They grow the puffiest alpaca fiber in a huge range of colors. (12 pages, $10.)
Camelid: Suri alpaca—Suri alpacas grow long, shiny, almost silk-like locks. The fiber is completely different from huacaya. (8 pages, $8.)
Camelid: Paco-vicuña—This is the story of the development of the North American paco-vicuña, a specific breed of alpaca. It recounts a way to conscientiously and deliberately shape a new breed, regardless of species. (8 pages, $8.)
Camelid: Llama — Llamas are one of the least recognized and most delightfully surprising members of the fiber family. One of the sweetest fibers I spun for The Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook was grown by a llama. (8 pages, $8.)
Facts for Fiber Geeks:
Fiber and fabric:
Fiber and fabric: Pilling—What a pain pilling is! Yet we know a lot about why and how it occurs. And we could often do things to minimize it, although we rarely put that knowledge to work. There’s no reason not to. Our projects will be more rewarding and will last longer if we do. (16 pages, $12.)
Fiber and fabric: Felting—Felting is one of the oldest textile crafts, and probably the one about which we know the least. Why do fibers felt, and why—when they don’t—do they resist felting? This publication examines what we do and don’t know about felting. It won’t give solid answers, because in many cases we’re still at the theory stage, but you’ll come away with a better understanding of how to be a more comfortable fiber artisan. (12 pages, $10.)
General knowledge:
General knowledge: Species-Landrace-Breed—These are important concepts, and none of them has a clear, precise definition. This short document—possibly one of the most important I’ve ever put together—explains why that is and how these ideas relate to each other. The electronic version can be yours for free. (4 pages. Not on Etsy because . . . why pay for the PDF version of a free PDF?—if you want print, it’s on MagCloud.))
General knowledge: Wool Types—This is a basic document about how to think about wool types. It’s core information that I think every fiber worker needs. The electronic version can be yours for free. (8 pages. Not on Etsy because . . . why pay for the PDF version of a free PDF?—if you want print, it’s on MagCloud.))
General knowledge: Rare Sheep Breeds 2026—Each year when the rare breeds status lists are released by The Livestock Conservancy (U.S.) and the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, I update this document. It’s not at the start of the year; they usually make the lists available by about May. Again, you can have the electronic version for free because this is information we all need. (4 pages. Not on Etsy because . . . why pay for the PDF version of a free PDF?—if you want print, it’s on MagCloud.)
General Knowledge: Acquiring a Fleece — I’ve purchased hundreds of fleeces through the years, and in this guidebook I’ll walk you through the process for yourself. We’ll cover everything from pricing to quality so that you’ll be prepared to find the best fleece for your next project. (16 pages, $12.)
Breeds Overview: Heritage Sheep Breeds of the Southeastern United States — The region of the southeastern United States is, and has been, a challenging one for wool-growing sheep breeds. Over time, three breeds–all now classified as rare and endangered–have proven their ability to do well in an environment of heat, humidity, predators, and parasites: the American Tunis, the Florida Cracker, and the Gulf Coast Native. This account focuses on how sheep came into that part of the continent and the obstacles they manage to deal with to thrive there. Their wools are lovely! And while all are “mid-grade,” they have distinct characteristics. (8 pages, $8)
Mini-posters ($2 each)
As of August 2025 these are for sale on MagCloud here, and for sale on Etsy.
- American Jacob—These wonderfully spotted sheep with horns (both males and females, from two to six per animal) grow fleeces that can either be next-to-skin soft or suitable for outerwear—lots of diversity in texture. Regardless, they are fun to work with. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Bluefaced Leicester—Bluefaced Leicester sheep are longwools that grow quite fine fleeces for the group. The lustrous wool is noted for superb drape. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Bond—The Bond was produced in Australia by the same breeding process that resulted in the Corriedale in New Zealand. There are differences in the resulting fiber. Unfortunately, Bond sheep (and therefore their fiber) are difficult, perhaps impossible, to find in 2025. My work documenting them may serve as a placeholder, with the hope that some exist and the breed can be revitalized. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Border Leicester—Of the three Leicester breeds (Leicester Longwool also known as English Leicester, Border Leicester, and Bluefaced Leicester), this is the one with the mid-range and most versatile wool, well suited for making sweaters, blankets, and other everyday textiles. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Bowmont—Bowmont sheep represent one of the uncommon successful efforts to grow fine wools in the British Isles. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- California Red—The California Red originated from an attempt to breed an unusually meat-productive sheep that wouldn’t need shearing. It grows a lovely fleece that is usually oatmeal- to tan-colored (although it’s sometimes white), often flecked with fine red hairs. There’s nothing quite like its wool, which is well worth experiencing. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Cheviot, American Miniature—The origins of this breed are a bit mysterious, but these small animals produce relatively large fleeces in several colors. Overall, Cheviot wool is crisp enough to show patterns well and makes durable fabrics. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Cheviot, Border—This is the original Cheviot from which all the others were developed. It came from the border lands between England and Scotland and is a hardy breed with extremely useful and underrated wool. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Cheviot, Brecknock Hill—Some Cheviot sheep went to Wales, where they mixed a bit with the local sheep and produced a sturdy breed that produces useful wool—mostly white, but occasionally in other colors. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Cheviot, North Country—Of the several types of Cheviots, the North Countries are the largest. They produce robust, large, versatile fleeces. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Clun Forest—Clun Forests, one of the rare breeds, have lovely chocolate-colored faces and legs and grow wool that can be used for many everyday textiles. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Coopworth—The Coopworth developed in New Zealand to do well in intermediate environments. It produces a versatile longwool-type fleece. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Cotswold—One of the rare-breed longwools, Cotswold fiber resembles that of Lincoln Longwools and Leicester Longwools, but the breed’s history is separate and the animals require less rich grazing. The wool is shiny and drapes well. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Dorset Down—There are three Dorset breeds, and the Dorset Down is the one that is part of the core group of six Down wools. These are noted for resisting shrinkage and felting without any chemical treatment. Dorset Down fleeces are pleasant and versatile, and need to be obtained from British or Australian flocks. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Dorset Horn—The Dorset Horn, one of the three Dorset breeds, is a white-faced rare breed that gave rise to the Polled Dorset (also known as the Dorset Poll or plain Dorset). — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- East Friesian— Mostly known as a dairy sheep, the East Friesian also grows good mid-grade wool, sometimes white and sometimes natural-colored. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Florida Cracker—Florida Crackers represent a rare breed that does well in the sheep-unfriendly conditions of the southeastern United States and grow nice wool while they’re at it. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Gotland—The Gotland’s wool is, for the most part, gray, although some animals grow near-black or white fleeces. It’s silky, lustrous, and of medium length. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Gulf Coast Native—Gulf Coast, or Gulf Coast Native, sheep are a rare breed with the ability to grow good wool in environments that other sheep can’t handle. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Icelandic—lcelandic sheep are hearty animals that come in a multitude of colors and patterns. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Leicester Longwool—The Leicester Longwool is arguably one of the great sheep breeds of history. Leicester Longwools grow long, lustrous, strong fleeces that come in whites and a full range of grays all the way to black. The wool takes dyes beautifully. It’s a great weaving wool, but is also fun to knit and crochet. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Lincoln Longwool—One of the longwools classified as rare, Lincolns have long, silky, durable fleeces. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Merino—Merino! There are hundreds of Merino-based breeds and white Merino wool is omnipresent throughout the world. Less well-known are the natural-colored Merinos. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Navajo-Churro—The Navajo-Churro, a rare breed native to the United States, has given rise to three textile traditions in the Southwest: Navajo, Hispanic, and Puebloan. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Romanov—Romanov is one of the Northern Short-tail breeds. Its fleece is a mix of fiber types, including wool, hair, and sometimes kemp. It’s not one of the normal spinning fibers. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Romeldale/CVM—This is one of the most vulnerable breeds on The Livestock Conservancy’s list, which always surprises fiber folk because they say, “We see them all the time!” That’s because We are the market for these fleeces. We see ALL of them. It’s up to us to keep the breed going, and we have many reasons to want to do so. The wool is similar in fineness to Merino and Rambouillet, but often has a longer staple length that means it can be spun into yarns from bulky to laceweight and maintain integrity. It also comes in a fantastic number of gorgeous natural colors. Highly recommended! — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Romney—Romneys are a longwool breed that grows moderate wool that’s great for beginners to explore and will provide ongoing support for more advanced spinners’ experiments. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Soay—Soay sheep are one of two rare breeds associated with the St Kilda archipelago in the northern Atlantic Ocean (the other is Boreray). They’ve been there for at least 4,000 years. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Shetland—Shetland sheep have an incredibly diverse number of fleece types. This is the very high-level view of the breed. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Shropshire—Shropshire is one of the six core Down breeds, known for their natural resistance to felting. Mostly raised these days for meat, it has until recently been difficult to obtain Shropshire fleeces for fiber work. That has been changing in large part because of The Livestock Conservancy’s Shave ’Em to Save ’Em program, and that’s a fine development because the wool is pleasant, versatile, and abundant. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Suffolk—There are more Suffolks in the United States than any other breed, and most of their wool goes to waste–which is an incredible shame, because it resists felting so thoroughly that objects made from it (socks, kids’ sweaters) can be machine washed and dried without shrinking. The sheep’s black faces mean there may be black fibers in the wool. Industry doesn’t want that. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Swaledale—Swaledales are mountain sheep found almost entirely in northern England. They grow double-coated fleeces with a lot of undercoat and an outercoat of weather-shedding hair. Some fleeces are suitable for making sturdy sweaters, while others are better used in carpets, bags, and other rough-and-ready textiles. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Targhee—Targhee is one of the breeds developed to thrive on the ranges of the Western United States while growing good wool. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Teeswater—Teeswaters grow heaps of wool and are often shorn twice a year, still yielding locks with remarkable length. They also offer luster and a supple hand that belies their relatively robust micron counts. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Tunis, American—The American Tunis is a rare breed with lovely cinnamon-colored face and legs, and a sweet, versatile fleece. — On MagCloud — On Etsy
- Wensleydale—With long, lustrous, slinky fleeces that feel softer than they “should,” based on the data, Wensleydales are one of the only breeds whose origin can be traced to a single animal. Their wool comes in blacks and grays as well as white. — On MagCloud — On Etsy




































I’ll be regularly updating the selection to include new topics as I have the time to put together the documents. Each document contains a combination of theory and practical knowledge for fiber arts enthusiasts of all skill levels. I’m also an avid believer in documentation, so most of them have extensive reference lists.
