Welcome to Cherry Run—urban farm and fiber arts studio! My fiber journey began years past simply as an idea to raise sheep, but in a moment of serendipity, I discovered alpacas and their luxurious fleece. Ten years ago, while looking at all those bags of raw fiber at my herd’s first shearing, my thought was “what do I do with this”? So, for the last ten years I have explored the technical, tactile and textile world of alpaca fiber (mostly) finally settling on the creative arts of hand spinning, felting and dyeing. I love the technical challenges of hand spinning to produce creative yarns; the feel of fiber becoming fabric; and the surprise of color. Here, you will find a variety of items from felted hats and other felted items to drop spindles to dyed roving, top and fiber batts. From a first or the latest shearing, each annual fiber collection is a new adventure as fleece changes over time resulting in our products being truly one-of-a-kind.
