About us
Susan’s interests in crafts started as a child when her grandmother taught her to knit. She has mastered many needle crafts over the years since then and has given classes in bobbin- lacemaking, knitting, embroidery, spinning and weaving. Her concentration over the last 20 years has been related mainly to working with fibre and yarn.
Susan has been inspirational in her design of tools for spinners. Susan works with Andrew to develop her ideas and together they have produced many new innovative tools that make working with fibre a joy.
Andrew has been a woodworker since his high school classes in the subject.
He took to woodturning in the 1980’s when Susan got him to start making bobbins for her lacemaking classes. When they moved to Canada from the UK in 1991 they found that there was little interest in lacemaking. However Susan had started to spin and needed wool combs, so he dusted off his lathe. After several attempts and Susan’s guidance his mini combs were judged a success. Susan’s new combs caught the attention of her friends and the word spread quickly. The rest is history.
