We are pleased to announce that after lots of gentle encouragement... well, maybe some of us on the team were not so gentle, Becca will be providing fiber again! Right now we are starting with some 1 oz silk samples but with some more time we hope to get Becca dyeing again. It's been a long time coming. With our recent move of Daedalus HQ, we now have more space to work and we've added on a couple new members to our team. This has been such a dramatic change for us and we are so excited by how this move will open up more opportunities for the continued growth and innovation for Daedalus Spinning Wheels. For those who haven't been with us since the beginning, you'll know that Dave and Becca's journey into fiber started with dyeing yarn. After they began their dyeing business, Spotted Ewe Fibers, they realized that Rebecca would need to learn to spin to dye top-quality fibers. Intrigued by the mechanics behind handspinning—notably the nuts and bolts of e-spinning—Dave soon followed suit. He knew his decade-long experience as a drone designer could help him build a lighter, faster, more responsive e-spinner. We are so overjoyed to see Becca getting back to her original fibery roots , a moment that fills our hearts with pride and happiness.

Next up on Becca's to do list of fiber creativity is to make some batts. Here's some luscious batts from Evanita's personal stash that were made by Becca. They are oh so lovely!
