Taos Sunflower Yarns and Fibers

A little bit about Taos Sunflower

If you’re not familiar with Taos Sunflower, my name is Martie, and together with a group of some pretty wonderful women, we operated as Taos Sunflower Yarns & Fibers in the village of Arroyo Seco, New Mexico for five years, from 2003-2008.

Then, one day...I got burned out. The economy was sinking, visitors to our neck of the woods were far and few between, and I realized I’d gone too far off my original path. First I made the decision to shrink the shop and specialize only in yarns and fibers that had passed through artisans’ hands...eliminating our support of big corporations. While this received lots of positive support, there just wasn’t enough business to merit keeping the doors open...so on October 5, 2008, we closed the doors after a very fun week celebrating the Taos Wool Festival with all our friends from near and far.

After a few weeks’ recovery, I got busy all over again and reopened on Etsy.com as TaosSunflowerToo. It’s a perfect little venue for me to sell my own hand spun yarns and hand painted fibers. I’m doing it on “Taos time”...when I’m feeling really creative and have fun things to share with you. In between those times, I’m enjoying my new life, learning new crafts, traveling, enjoying my home and garden.

Thanks for stopping by. Please be sure to visit my blog when you can, where I will post bits of news about my little Etsy shop and write about anything else that happens to be on my mind on any given day!
