Amy Clarke Moore

Hi! I'm the editor of Spin•Off magazine. I'm blessed with a job I adore. Truly. I'm not just saying that. In addition to that, I am a fairytale-loving, spinning-, knitting-, beading-, weaving-, felting-, embroidering-, writer-mom and wife, among other things.

I earned an MFA in fiber arts from Colorado State University in 1997 and am a co-author of the book Beaded Embellishment: Designs and Techniques for Embroidering on Cloth with Robin Atkins, and the author of the soon to be released All New Homespun, Handknit.
