Lost Coast Spinnery

3 pack on amazon for 24

Thank you. I work very hard to make functional beauty people can work with, and I'm very lucky to have some wonderful women who work with me. (We are an all women shop except for my husband, who does all the spinning and maintenance).

Thank you. We are very grateful he got to move home. Every day in Kentucky he was miserable. The day he retired we started packing :)

I told my husband. 'I'm not where I expected to be, yet I feel like I'm exactly where I'm meant to be.' And since our arrival in March of this year, 5 more women have started small flocks of critical or threatened breeds, which gives me hope.

Ah, no. Actually, the roving is from Elizabeth of the Moors (she's a lovely creamy Wensleydale with hints of soft grey in her wool), and the Jacob is actually from a Jacob sheep named Ever After (called Evie). I name them after family, friends, authors, movie & book characters.

Freedom is always worth it.

A visit this morning:)

Yes, I love them. No, I don't eat them. I raise my sheep only for their wonderful wool. And then there is the 'misfit squad' of various rescues, which gives the mill a highly unusual amount of local wool from rare breeds. #humboldt #ferndale

We love it here. My husband wanted to come home (we were in Kentucky for 20 years for his job). And we knew going to my home in MA wouldn't have the things we needed to be successful. Since arriving in March, we have 5 more people who have started sheep farms because we are here. #yarn #fashion

We are small beans, but we brought our wool mill and farm to Fortuna, CA and we created six jobs.

Never let it be said I won’t go the distance to get amazing raw wool for our Small Footprint #yarn #knitting #finnsheep

Your work is beautiful. It reminds me of an artist I saw once. She does very light work with watercolors. Wish I could remember her name.

Still not renewing my Disney subscription. I just got the complete X-Files. It's mostly what I watched to fall asleep with, anyway.

I love them but they have the survival instincts of sugared up toddlers.

Bridget and Gummybear went hiking. #yarnseeds

In honor of our rescued dogs (and those we have fostered over the decades). We offer gift cards from our mill (yarn, hats, artwork ect) to people that adopt cats and dogs, we flag on TikTok. It's not much ($100 eac) but if it gets these babies a forever home we are happy to do it.

Tearing my hair out with ‘made in America’. This was made in Alabama. This will be the 3rd defective part since March 2025.

None of the folks I know can even afford the luxury of Starbucks anymore. Shop the local coffee shops. Better food, better vibes.

Thank you very much for replying. I'm trained in oils, watercolor, and pencil (Mass Art a long long time ago) so this was something I'd never seen before. I'll add it to my wish list :)

I love this. I have no idea how it was done but I would love to see this on wall at work.

I don't know you, nor have I been in your shop. But thank you nonetheless for your work. The warm emotional hug I feel when I walk into an independent bookshop is unlike any other store. If I weren't doing what I am, then I like to think I'd be in some cosy seaside town happily selling books myself.

My parents dogs. I'm pretty sure they love them more than all of us. And we are just fine with that :) because dogs are wonderful. Plus unlike them, I am NOT willing to jump out of a helicopter on Cape Cod, grab a human and drag them to shore for a 'good boy' and a cookie.

I'm looking at $20k in tariffs for equipment I need to keep my business in operation since it hasn't been made in USA since the 40's and is now only in Asia or the EU. And waiting has cost me $160,000 in lost productivity since March. I hate this timeline.

Question. For months, I saw Proud Boys and other far-right guys show up at every protest to try and cause damage. Incite riots and mob mentality. Where are they? Where did they go? Do they all work for ICE now?

I lived in KY for 20 years. It really is like that...all the damn time.

Fortuna, CA was packed with people waiting to vote.

Please. Please tell me this is AI. This room is an abomination, so I'm really hoping this is a joke.

Out of curiosity, are people using AI and just having it write everything using an author's style? Do they write nothing themselves? I don't use it so I'm unclear how it works.
