FSH member Kathy Senecal will be fundraising for the FSH Society in the coming months at four different craft fairs through her business, Not Your Mother’s Yarn. 100% of the net proceeds will be donated to the FSH Society.
Kathy offers a large selection of hand-spun yarns, as well as hats, snoods, fingerless gloves, and headbands. There will be skeins spun from local alpaca fleece in natural color—perfect for a quick scarf knit or crocheted in deliciously soft art yarn. Another specialty will be yarn spun from White Blossom fleece shipped from Ireland. The White Blossom sheep, from a farm in Northern Ireland dedicated to preserving heritage breeds, was developed by back-crossing Hebrideans and Wensleydales over many generations. The fleece is prized for it’s curly, lustrous wool, perfect for textured spinning.
When you purchase from Not Your Mother’s Yarn, you will be gifting twice-once to yourself (or someone special), as well as to the FSH Society.
More detailed information about each show can be found on the FSH Society events page.

Ken Williams says
Excellent! I’m not in the East Coast area, but I might be interested in some gifts for my relatives at Christmas. This will be our first Christmas after our son’s FSHD diagnosis. Do you do any remote online sales?
Kathy Senecal says
Hi Ken,thank you so much for considering purchasing my yarn, a double pleasure since the money goes directly to the FSH Society. Unfortunately, I don’t do on-line sales. I know knitters, weavers, crocheters and “artsy” folks like this style yarn. Because each piece is a one-of-a-kind, it’s hard to translate that into a photo.
I wish you the best with your son – there is so much hope on the horizon with research and trials, One can be very optimistic.
Be well and full of joy
Kathy
