Mouse (The Married Spinster) spins a variety of fibres into handspun yarn. She also hand dyes both yarn and roving. She crochets a variety of accessories and felts small accessories and figures.

Mouse is running workshops on learning how to spin from fleece, dying yarn and roving and different wool felting techniques. Workshops will cost between $20 - $70 depending on materials and size of project.
