TYGART LAKE FIBERARTS, Grafton, WV
I have been a Hand spinner, Dyer and Weaver since 1983. Initially I ran a wholesale/retail custom carding service in Vermont using a Patrick Green Country Carder. I custom dyed fleeces and roving using my own dye formulas and combinations. I raised and bred Cotswold and Romney sheep with a focus on long wool and natural colors. It was truly a sheep to shawl endeavor. My clientele spanned from Georgia, New York City to eastern Canada.
I currently reside in beautiful Grafton, West Virginia home to the wonderful Tygart Lake recreational area. I believe that our hand spinning, dying and weaving heritage is a disappearing art form. Please enjoy the education information and our limited handspun, handwoven and hand dyed products. While we have limited inventory any items may be custom ordered. All items are heirloom quality, totally handcrafted and one of a kind.

A portion of this site is comprised of past courses and workshops I’ve held for hand spinning, weaving, dyeing instructional purposes. Enjoy and they are free for download.

In my home based shop I custom dye, hand spin and weave unique articles
of heirloom quality, you have your choice of hand dyed or natural handspun and
commercial yarns. We cater to those who do not want to wear or furnish their
homes with accessaries of the more common nature purchased commercially. If you consider
yourself to be unique and a one-of-a-kind person – I can light up your life with a vast array of color and textures.
As each item is so individually handcrafted we do not keep a large inventory available. Most of our products are custom orders therefore available inventory is on a first come first serve basis. You may however view any item in our galleries and request a similar item.
