About Heritage
Yarns Dyeing
and weaving have been my passion since 1987. Heritage
Handwovens was established in 1994 and in 1998, "and Dye Service" was added
to the name as I began offering my hand dyed yarns used in my own weaving and
knitting.
After having dyed and woven for pleasure for
seven years, I was accepted into
the Craftsmen's Guild of Mississippi as a weaver in 1994 and continued to dye for my own knitting and weaving and began showing and
selling handwovens through guild events and galleries.
I began retailing and
wholesaling yarns in early 1998 and
followed shortly afterwards by dyeing commercial silk scarves and changed
the name of my business to Heritage Yarns.
I
have been a member of Handweavers Guild of America and my local guild,
Chimneyville Weavers and Spinners Guild,
Jackson, MS, since 1987 and was listed in the Directory of
Traditional American Crafts of "Early American Homes"
for four years. Among my honors was weaving an ornament for the
1999 White House Blue Room Christmas tree in
concert with the "Save America's Treasures" program; the ornament will
remain a part of the permanent collection of the
White House.
The
studio of Heritage Yarns is located in Jackson,
Mississippi, the "Crossroads of the South", and is
family
owned and operated. I guarantee products for quality and workmanship; your satisfaction
is my desire. Visit
Heritage at Work to
see pictures of my home studio.
I
am grateful for the overwhelming response from knitters, weavers and
collectors who have purchased my products. Thank you for your continued
interest. If you have any thoughts as to how I can make improvements in
these, let me know as it is my pleasure to serve you with the best products,
service and information available.

Music has always been a big part of our lives. We worked
professionally for many years and still enjoy
playing for occasional private parties. Lately, we have been recording
some in the studio with friends and at home. Technology of home
recording equipment has come a long way!
Cheers!
