Several of my handspun yarns have taken top honours at various competitions across the US. I enter competitions occasionally to get feedback to improve my techniques and, well, for fun. Some awards include:
– Best Handspun Yarn, 2011 Pagosa Springs Fiber Festival
– First Place, Thick Yarn from Raw Wool Prepared by Spinner, 2010 Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival
– First Place, 2-ply Wool; Special Award Jacob Wool, Lambtown 2009
