Christine Long Derks

I’m a full-time corporate drone that dreams of playing with yarn all day long. sigh My passion is fiber…dying it, spinning it, knitting it, crocheting it, felting it…heck, even just carrying it about makes me happy!

My sweet back porch dye lab, spinning wheel, family and crazy yarn girl adventures keep me hopping! I design patterns to help you knit up that fabulous handspun yarn you’ve got stashed about! I try to create treasures that allow the colors, textures and artistic diversity of handspun to shine through.
