Wyrd is Old English for fate, destiny, and becoming. It eventually gave us weird, with its associations of being strange, unusual, or outside the ordinary.

Spinster originally referred to a woman who spun, a skilled craft that could offer women a measure of independence. Over time, the term came to be used to diminish women who lived outside the roles expected of them.

Those histories still live within Wyrd Spinster. The strange, unusual, and unexpected run through the work itself. No two pieces are quite alike, each with its own becoming still ahead of it.

This is a small, woman-owned fiber studio and a one-woman operation. Everything that leaves my studio is dyed, spun, packed, and sent out into the world by my own two hands.

Wyrd Spinster has already grown in ways I never could have predicted. What began with my own creative practice now continues through yours, and every piece that leaves my studio becomes part of a story I could never shape alone. I’m so excited to see what we make of it from here.

With love,
Jasmine
