Welcome to Hanging On By A String.

In a world that is increasingly chaotic, it’s important that we find moments of peace when we can. As a social worker I frequently deal in high stress situations. No matter what area of the profession I worked in, one thing that remained the same was the need to find a safe space for my mind. For me that came with exploring the world of fiber. I found that when I worked with fiber my mind became quiet. When my mind became quiet my body also relaxed. It was the best feeling. Since then I’ve been hooked on all things fiber and so Hanging On By A String was born.

Because I still work in the mental health field, and my company’s name is an expression meaning clinging to one’s sanity, I do also want to raise awareness about mental health issues and contribute in some way. At this time I am not sure how I will accomplish this BUT it will be done. In the meantime, I invite you to come along and explore the world of yarn, color, and fiber. The only requirement is an open mind.
