Look What’s News!
Aug 10, 2023 · original
Over the past year, but especially the past few months, my team and I — just like pretty much everyone in an independent niche field — has struggled with how best to keep reaching the friends, colleagues, and clients we’ve worked with for decades. Staying in touch keeps getting trickier in the modern era, with social media platforms collapsing and new ones rising and algorithm-generated feeds leaving everyone frustrated not to see what they’ve signed up to see. They say everything old is new again, right? So here we are with old-school newsletters you can count on receiving, sort of as if it were 30 years ago, except now with more fancy formatting. We’re launching with two key newsletters: Abby’s Yarns News , which is a general email that will go out 1-2 times per month with a very occasional additional email if there’s breaking news. We’ll tell you what we’re working on, what products a

Franquemont University Access FAQ
Sep 9, 2022 · original
How do I access the content my membership entitles me to? Live classes were held on Zoom and the recorded videos are unlisted on YouTube. The playlists and video links, and all community interaction, are shared on Discord in private, members-only channels. To gain access to these channels, please go to https://abbysyarns.com/webshop/membership-account/ (this link is also in your confirmation email) and follow the on screen instructions to connect to Discord. Links to your purchases are also described in your welcome email. I followed these instructions, and still don’t have access to the members only channels, what do I do? Firstly, wait 10 minutes, it might take a while for the bot to catch up.

Franquemont Method: SPINNING I
Aug 31, 2020 · original
Abby teaching handspinning At last, it’s available digitally! The spinning fundamentals program I developed for Stringtopia Fiber Arts Studio is aimed at taking you from your first interest in making your own yarn by hand all the way up to being a comfortable intermediate spinner in only 4 months including your practice time. SPINNING I meets weekly for 4 sessions, giving you time to practice in between those sessions. Each session is 2 hours total and takes place live on Zoom, with a recording available after the session for you to review while you practice. You’ll also have access to a Discord chat channel where you can discuss with your fellow students, and where I’ll check in daily to answer questions throughout the session. To begin the hands-on exercises, you will need a stick or a pencil, and some spinnable fiber, ideally wool, although you can work with any fiber you are able to
Dear Chris, Mother’s Day 2019
May 12, 2019 · original
Dear Chris, As I write this now, I’m in a tourist service Sprinter van whose driver wanted to pick up more passengers from Ollantaytambo to Cusco via Chinchero. It’s Mother’s Day and I’m headed for Chinchero to put flowers on your grave. This place has changed so much in the past 42 years. I hope you can see it. We’re just pulling into Urubamba and I’m writing this on my smartphone. Everywhere it’s oarties and feria action and the driver isn’t having much luck picking up more passengers because it’s noon and everyone is heading for lunch with their moms. I got a late start due to a bunch of unseasonable rain and being unable to get it together. I was trying to decide on a picture of you to post on social media when, again, I ran across my scan of this letter you wrote almost 42 years ago. And you know, it’s this amazing picture of a rough spot in your life as the mother of 2 little daugh
Apples, and Where They Fall
Dec 22, 2018 · original
So, I’m doing a thing. When I set out to try to plan this venture, initially, a few years ago, I thought I was completely different from my parents. We’ll come back to that. I guess the idea for this whole thing started at my mother’s velorio — her wake, basically. We buried her in Chinchero, Cusco, Peru, where she spent most of her child-rearing years, and we sat up all night with her casket, people dropping by and sharing remembrances, and as the night went on, one question came up again and again: whatever happened to all those notes she and my dad used to take doing anthropological field work? All those stories, all those photos, whatever did happen to them? Now that both my parents were gone, and my sister, what would become of that chronicle, that archive? If they could be found, I said, then somehow, soon, I would do something with them. And we did find them. Or a large part of th
Dear Chris: Today You Would Be 70
Mar 9, 2018 · original
Dear Chris, Well, it doesn’t get any easier. Chris Franquemont, holding Molly Franquemont, next to Ed Franquemont. They are all gone now. Today, you would be 70. Five years ago today was the last time I wished you a happy birthday, and the last time anybody heard from Molly. I spend a lot of March 9ths bursting into tears suddenly, and today’s really no exception. And yeah, to be fair, it’s been a rough day ever since that birthday of yours when we all rushed to Ed’s deathbed and made you leave for long enough to go have a good solid meal. It was your 56th birthday — you were only ten years older than I am now. And we never could have guessed you only had 9 more birthdays coming. Do you remember that nightmare I used to have, over and over? I know, there were a few. But I mean that one where one day, you and Ed decided we should get a refrigerator for the cancha at the house we lived in,
What’s Going On Around Here This Week
Dec 8, 2017 · original
Victoria and I have been working hard during our current transition period. If you haven’t heard the news, Victoria was accepted for a Kiva small business loan ! We’re hoping funding will happen soon, and are already in the process of getting her own workspace setup in her own home. This is an incredible opportunity for her, and for all of us really, because we expect this transition to mean lots more batts for everyone. Victoria, seen here with the ever-trusty Cardzilla Sunday, 10 December 2017, will mark one month since we relaunched production! What’s been particularly exciting for me about it all is that, whereas years ago, Victoria was my employee, now we’re an entrepreneurial partnership. With her having her own equipment and workspace, she’ll be earning more on each batt she makes, and getting to spread her designing wings as well with a range of Victoria’s Choice (well, we haven’
