Clara’s making yarn!

After 12+ years of swatching, testing, flogging, thrashing, fondling, coveting, and generally seeking the meaning of yarn, I’m finally ready to try making my own. I’ve procured a very special, 676-pound bale of superfine Saxon Merino—my Great White Bale—and am making yarn with it, taking people with me on the adventure.

Our narrative yarn journey began on January 1, 2013, and you can still follow along as an Armchair Traveler. Here are all the details.

Here are some teasers to get you in the mood:
