Nelly DeVault is a fiber artist from central Indiana who took one drop spindle lesson and was hooked! She loves to learn about and experience the many wonderful breeds of sheep. She has experimented extensively with blending fibers, and teaches techniques from the beginning of the fiber prep process to blending while knitting. She has raised bombyx caterpillars to learn about silk, and alpacas to acquire unlimited spinning fiber. She is an experiential learner and teacher and wants to travel with as many friends on the fiber journey as possible! Nelly lives in Alexandria, Indiana, and teaches classes and workshops in her home area, and throughout the Midwest.
