About Kelly And The Wool

I have been a passionate knitter for over 25 years and love all types of yarn, but especially worsted weight yarn.

 While living in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, my family and I volunteered for over three years at a local living history museum and demonstrated the complete wool process in the 1750s log home.  My husband and I showed thousands how the wool yarn was hand spun in the house, made into a hand dyed yarn, and then ultimately made into garments.  I learned a tremendous amount about wool and fiber there.

Shortly after beginning work at the museum, I began to sell my excess handspun yarn and hand-knit items in the museum store.  I even developed a hand dyed yarn line based on the colors of the museum.

  Fast forward ten years.  We now live in the hills of West Virginia and are on a quest to restart an old homestead.  I have taken what I learned in those early years and am expanding on it.

You see, all the hand dyed yarn sales here are funding a unique project.  My goal is to build a cabin near the road to sell wool yarn and demonstrate spinning again.  I hope one day, we might even be able to own sheep!

Your purchases are a direct contribution to that dream.

I hope you enjoy looking through my shop.  Please, feel free to ask any questions.  I'm only a click away.
