Madeline Stark learned to knit when she was 10 yrs. old, and fell in love with the craft. While living in NY she was a member of a knitting group for 5 years. While a part of this group, she learned about the John Campbell Folk School in North Carolina and took a trip there in 1983 where she spent a week learning to spin wool. This was the beginning of 5 years of classes from dyeing wool to knitting without patterns.
Madeline started a weekly knitting group in Pecos in 1999, and it is still going strong.
She travels throughout New Mexico participating in Fiber Festivals selling her knitted items.
“Along my life’s journey, I discovered that I love to teach my craft. It brings me such joy to pass along an ancient craft that joins women together and develops their creativity. Knitting and Spinning are an expansion of my spirit. It’s very meditative and relaxing. When I lived in NY I had a dream of sitting in the quiet woods with my spinning wheel and a basket of beautifully dyed roving. Now it’s a reality; a dream come true!”
