Post by Capi Puszcz - PlayingWithFiber on Sept 6, 2021 22:29:18 GMT
I’m Capi Puszcz: 50+ years experience in all sorts of needle arts, 7yr hand dyer of yarns, and recently added dyeing fiber. My father was a fiber artist, and I probably played with yarn before talking.
Most people find me very approachable, and friendly. I think of myself as an introverted extrovert. I hold back a little bit, but if we have similar interests, I’m eager to know you. Unfortunately, I have been taken advantage of by so called fiber friends, and that has made me more cautious.
I own a yarn and fiber shop, called The Yarn and Us, in Macomb, Michigan, US. My husband retired so we could travel, and sell my yarns at various fiber shows…enter Covid, and a mother with dementia, so our plans have changed a lot. We have taken a couple FFS online courses, and have enjoyed them immensely! Thank you, Ruth, Galena and Teri.
I have been getting the FFS Newsletter regularly, but didn’t know (or understand) there was a Forum. I am currently in the Felted Concertina Hat class, and loving it! With me you get my loving husband, Brian. We will be married 43 years, this week, and he knows fiber and colors keep me sane.
Looking forward to more fiber adventures!

When you start looking back make sure you've plenty of time. You'll be down the rabbit hole for hours if you're not careful. So much helpful advice and information.
