For the past 15 years, Drucilla Pettibone has been spinning unique handspun yarns, using fleeces gathered from local farms or from her own small herd of Shetland and Jacob sheep. Drucilla gravitates toward natural fibers with minimal processing, and applies slow cloth principles and aesthetics. She sells her yarns and other works in fiber on her Etsy site, Petit Bones, and collects and restores antique spinning tools. Drucilla teaches spinning at the local community college and gives private lessons at her home in rural North Carolina, which she shares with her partner Rocky, her small flock of sheep, Angora rabbits, free-range chickens, and lots of woodland creatures.
