Presidential burr, A Despite the fact that the Washingtons, like other wealthy Americans, ordered hosiery from London merchants as well as depending upon local production, stockings remained a presidential burr: "The deficiency of Stockings is another instance of the villainy of those I have about me, for, as you justly observe, it is impossible for that lame Peter and Sarah's work could amount to no more than 60 pair."

Gelenter, Luisa I guess I would have to say Colorist - working in the medium of Plant Dyes, and Yarn Designer - handspuns for years and years, and now with our Taos Valley Wool Mill, I've had the opportunity to expand into designing some unique Custom Millspun lines too. In addition to creating and selling our own yarns , a large part of our business is our Custom Dyeing Service: Your yarns and fibers - Our colors. I have also dyed everything from kid Mohair for doll hair, to yarns for quasi-secretive soon-to-be-out-there Navajo projects, to porcupine quills to ( recently) straw hats and needle point yarns. We've recently begun dyeing the Antler crowns we use for many of the sweaters. Bone, being a protein fiber takes the dyes quite nicely...and so on. We'll dye just about anything that comes our way as long as it's either protein or cellulose...

Hopkins, Doreen I design for the California climate. The fibers that I use for my designs must be weight-less, versatile, and durable. I am also concerned with portability of the final project in this stream-lined travelling environment. I like to work with the texture or the properties of the yarn and to design a unique piece of wearable art. Most of my designs appeal to the petite figure -- with medium weight yarns, suitable style, small-print or contrast stitches which enhance rather than overwhelm the figure.
