About KnitSpinLove

Kathy Cairns Hendershott
I'm a weaver, knitter, and Roycroft Artisan* near Warsaw, NY, a very rural area in Western New York State, offering handwoven and handknit items in our online shop and artisan shows.  I started weaving in 2012 and made custom babywearing wraps for several years.  I'm especially  known especially for my use of careful color-blending and bold use of traditionally-based patterns with modern colors.  

 There are eight traditional floor looms in our house that are never empty, with no computer or dobby-assisted mechanisms.  It can take up to 25 hours to set up a loom for a project. See photos of the entire custom fabric process by checking out The Process page.

I'm  also an Independent Designer for KnitPicks.
