The Cosmic Vision
The vision of The Cosmic Spindle has always been to promote Fiber Arts and Primitive Folk Arts, and to keep these practices alive, thriving and relevant in these modern day times.
I create handmade, one of a kind, high quality pieces using the practices of hand dyeing, spinning and weaving. I honour and revere the older ways.
My work at The Cosmic Spindle is a devotion to preserving these primitive skills by capturing their magic and timelessness in the pieces I create.
Christa’s Story
I have always loved working with my hands. My creative path has moved through hand dyeing, spinning, weaving, music, gardens, mentors, elders, and the quiet pull of the older ways. The Cosmic Spindle is where those threads come together as fiber art, story, devotion, and slow creation.

Why Choose Our Products
The Cosmic Spindle deeply honours the ancient teachings and practices from older times. We strive to keep these Primitive Folk Arts and Fiber Arts ALIVE and thriving in these modern day times.
We seek out the highest grade fibers for spinning, dying and fabricating creations. This means using only cleaned and carded wool that will be SUPER SOFT next to skin or underfoot.
The Cosmic Spindle workshop is a low impact, back to the land structure using sustainable energy to power and fuel its operation (woodstove for heat and fueling dye pots in the winter months). Human powered Spinning Wheels and Floor Looms!
We are motivated by the colourful beauty that surrounds us in this life. Nature gives forth much inspiration for creation. We are grateful everyday for this workshop in the forest where dreams and ideas manifest themselves into radiantly dyed ‘one of a kind’ pieces~ full of light, love and gratitude.
Supporting The Cosmic Spindle means supporting a grass roots cottage industry, woman owned and family powered business.
