Susan has taught beginning spinners for years. She sells her yarn and knitted items locally and on Etsy under Cozy Hollow Farm. Kristen is co-owner of Aurora Spinnery, a small batch fiber mill in Berlin. She and her husband process their own merino wool fiber, as well as custom process wool from other farms. For this class, Aurora Spinnery will process Orchard Valley's shetland sheep wool into roving for students to use on spinning wheels.
