Welcome to Cottage Spin Sew
Cottage Spin Sew is an educational website where you can learn to create handmade artisanal yarns and create, design, and sew your own wardrobe.
What is the "cottage" in Cottage Spin Sew?
The “cottage” in Cottage Spin Sew represents the small-scale home-based, family or community run business, where traditional skills like spinning and sewing are practiced with care and intention.
It invokes a return to mindful craftsmanship where each piece is created to your own specifications and desires.
