Middleboro crafter spins joy, serenity into her day
The Enterprise - December 3 2006
When Sheryl Amaral attended a 4-H fair 15 years ago, her purpose was to let her children show their sheep. But a new passion took hold.“At the Barnstable Fair, I saw some people spinning and found myself drawn to it,” said the Middleboro mother of four. I would push my daughter in the stroller and come back to the spinning. Finally, one of the gentlemen spinning asked if I would like to try the drop spindle and the wheel. That was it. I was hooked.”
Today, Amaral owns more than 15 spinning wheels, operates a home-based business called Spin-a-Bit, and spends time teaching others how to spin, weave, and dye wool. [more]
