ALIONA NOVA

I started this little business calling myself a blue haired spinner and it transferred into the logo that you can still see on my products. It is an anachronism - spinning has long and old roots within many cultures. It was a vocation practiced in almost every household as little as 50 years ago, yet almost entirely forgotten. When I first thought about a spinning wheel, it was intimidating and seemed like an extremely complicated machine, ancient and futuristic in it's design at the same time. Yet here I was, a blue haired tattooed queer spinning the device misplaced in time; and loving it!
