One beginning spinning lesson with the Anchorage Weavers & Spinners Guild was all it took for Nicole to get hooked on the fiber arts.  This lesson led to the purchase of a spinning wheel and resulted in large piles of yarn being created.  While all this yarn made the cat happy, it necessitated trying out other fiber crafts including: dyeing fibers, weaving, felting, knitting, and kumihimo.  In addition to practicing these crafts and keeping an eye out for yarn sales, Nicole is active in her local guild, teaches workshops, and collaborates with Flower and Feathers.
