Sabrina was immersed in the world of fiber at a very young age. Her grandmothers, both maternal and paternal, introduced her to what would become her favorite pastime. Sabrina knits, crochets, weaves and of course, spins. She readily recounts the relaxation and happiness that these activities bring her. She particularly enjoys mastering the path from raw fleece to a finished piece, passing through the washing, carding, dyeing, and spinning of natural fibers before crocheting, knitting or weaving her pieces. Her work, whether it be her yarns, knitted or woven pieces are beautifully crafted and represent a means of expressing all her creativity. |
