Shannon refers to herself as the monkey behind the wheel, the spinning wheel that is!  She lives in southern Vermont with her man and her little man, one kitty, 23 chickens and a lot of fiber. All the yarns in her Spun Monkey Shop are spun by Shannon.  Shannon explains how she evolved from knitting to spinning. “As per usual with spinners I know, I started with knitting and grew bored of commercial mill-spun yarns and their never-ending evenness. I wanted to play with color and texture, and swooned with delight at my first experience with handspun yarn…a surprise every stitch! It tickled my fancy, the artisan in me dove right in and the fiber obsession began. I wanted to bathe myself in the process, from raw fleece to finished yarn.”Stop buy Shannon shop and see her lovely yarns and felting wearable’s, Felted What-Nots, Hand carded Batts for Felters and Spinners.  What is exciting about being an editor, I get to find artist like Shannon.

    Shannon is awesome! She’s got mad skills behind the wheel and to her credit, can make an even balanced yarn as well as a funky creative yarn! Yay for the spun monkey!

    I love Shannon’s work. I have seen her beautiful felted goods and her lovely handspun in person and would love to take them all home with me!
