Let me introduce myself!
I am Kim, the owner and solo employee of Ewethful Fiber Farm & Mill. I own a mini fiber mill located in the Oregon valley in addition to having a flock of fiber animals and several other non-fiber animals that have joined the farm. At my mill I process locally sourced wool, alpaca, goat and other animal fibers into lovely handspinning fibers and yarns. I know wool and I definitely know that the right fibers can make learning to handspin a whole lot easier. I struggled with learning to spin myself and that has helped to make me an even better teacher for all those I teach to spin.
What Students Say
“Kim is a wonderful teacher who understands that individual learning styles vary. Listening to her and watching her spin helped me to understand and get a feel for how wool becomes yarn. She is patient, kind and encouraging. Kim applauded my efforts and successes and provided just the right amount of challenge to help me grow, but not so much that I was overwhelmed and gave up. Thank you, Kim!”

FAQs
Learning to Handspin isn’t Magic…
I cannot tell you how many times people have seen me spinning in person or online and have said it looks like magic or I am doing magic to make yarn. You guys, I promise, this isn’t magic and you can do it. I will admit I did not have the easiest time learning to handspin, a combination of the teaching style, the fiber I was spinning, and the lack of understanding about how my wheel works. As I picked up more and more tips I found myself repeating the same thing “if I only I had known that back when.” I know my early struggles have given me the skills and knowledge to make learning to handspin not only easier for you all but also so much fun! I am so excited to go on this journey with you.
