Your Host
My name is Kristie Holden. I'm the tall girl that you see at the shop on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I'm a retired military wife, mother, mother in law, and avid crafter. I have been around fiber arts my whole life. My grandmother taught me basic crochet when I was a little girl. I have been knitting in the St Louis fiber community for 15 years. I took up spinning during the pandemic. I am self taught and have immersed myself in all the different styles of wheels and spinning techniques from drop spindles, to antique wheels, traditional wheels, and e-spinners. When I'm not knitting or spinning, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I love all things natural for health and wellness, and enjoying the outdoors.
