Sandy’s Palette, LLC was started in September, 2001 from my
basement laundry room in Madison, WI where I dyed the first yarn and fiber I
would offer for sale. When I decided to move to Mineral Point I picked a house
that would have space for a real dye studio.
My love of spinning and dyeing was a natural extension of my
love for knitting and other needlework. Family legend has it that at the age of
four I pestered the neighbor into teaching me how to knit. I’ve been knitting
on and off ever since. Spinning came later, January 1999 I asked a friend if
she wanted to take a spinning class. Since she had just inherited her
grandmother’s wheel the answer was a resounding “Yes!” Six months later I took
my first dye class, and the rest is history.
Sandy’s Palette offers a variety of yarn weights, plus many fibers, including Alpaca, Merino and Merino blends, Romney, Rambouillet and Coopworth. Also offered are mohair locks, Firestar blending fiber, dye and other fun.
