A Little about me.

I have sold yarn since 1971, 27 years as the Yarn Barn in Delaware, Ohio and since 1998 as the Yarn Barn in Andersonville, Virginia. We started the yarnbarn web site as a result of the move to Virginia.

We purchased the commercial building and the house next door.  They both were built in the late 1700's, added to in the late 1800's, and modernized at various times over the last 200 years.  We have been taking both buildings back closer to the original structures and remodeling to meet our style of living.  We have planted a small orchard, a large garden, added many flower beds, and are now beginning to enjoy the "fruits" of all the labor!

The move to a more rural location has allowed me more time to devote to writing a line of patterns for larger women called Amplitudes and more general patterns call Maltitudes.

We moved to be closer to our grandchildren, Faith, Braedon, and twins Ryan and Nathan! What fun they are to watch grow.  Occasionally you will see them on the web site with new knitted items from grandma.

Our activities in the area: I am a master gardener belonging to the Fluvanna County group. We both sing in a church choir in Farmville and the Commonwealth Chorale in Farmville, belong to the Buckingham Historical Society [they are reconstructing an early 1800 village with donated buildings from the area], belong to the Buckingham Artist Guild, and belong to the Buckingham Chamber of Commerce.
