Marcia Weinert from Undeniably Loopyhas been addicted to turning fluff into stuff ever since sneaking her 9-year-old daughter’s spindle and fiber after their first class together, more than two decades ago!  Her handspun skeins and original knitwear designs have taken top honors at both the New York and Maryland Sheep and Wool Festivals, and her patterns have appeared in print, online at Knitty.com, and in Spin Off Magazine. She teaches spinning, knitting, felting and crochet in many outlets across the northeast--including the Fiber Festival of New England, Endless Mountains Fiber Festival (PA), Central New York Fiber Festival, Western New York Fiber Festival, New Hampshire Sheep & Wool Growers Association Fiber Festival, the Weaving and Fiber Arts Center in East Rochester, NY, and a crafting circle begun in 2004 at the public library where she worked. She has provided sample knits for top-flight knitwear designers, and served as a technical editor. 

Marcia is certified as a wool classer and handler by the American Sheep Industry Association; since then, she has also trained as a shearer.  She assists regional shepherds and shearers as a volunteer at shearing time with handling and skirting fleeces, and helps to broker their wools to mills and handspinners. She serves as a judge at the New York State Fair.
