About Kelly And The Wool

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

 While living in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, my family and I volunteered over three years at a local living history museum and demonstrated the complete wool process in the 1750's. My husband and I personally showed thousands how the wool was handspun in the home and ultimately made into garments during that time. I learned a tremendous amount about wool and fiber there.

Shortly after beginning work at the museum, I began to sell my 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 to now.  We 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 sales here are funding a unique project.  My goal is to build a cabin near the road to sell wool yarns and demonstrate spinning again.  I hope to begin building within a year.  Yes, 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.
