My name is Rebecca. My husband and I are ministers in the Anglican Church of Canada, and we have three daughters. We’re originally from Maryland, USA, but now live in Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, in the far north of Canada just outside the Arctic circle. My husband Jared is a Suffragan Bishop in the Diocese of the Arctic, and I am an associate priest at Holy Comforter Anglican Church. I like to spin, knit, and write.
The Osborn Fiber Studio blog has been a place for me to share my crafting projects, theological reflections, and life adventures, through many seasons of life since it began in 2009. These days, this is a space for me to record my projects, share my learning processes, and reflect on the connections between crafting, faith, and life.
Migraineur: Poems and Patterns on the Experience of Migraine is my first book of knitting patterns. It’s available on Amazon (softcover) and Ravelry (ebook).
You can find these and my other original handknitting patterns on ravelry.
Spinning is currently the big star of my crafting life. I host The Wool Circle, a subsidiary podcast of the Wool n’ Spinning community. You can watch Rachel Smith’s main feed twice-monthly Wool n’ Spinning show on Youtube, where she talks all things making yarn. If you support our Patreon, you can watch Dionne talk all things colour once a month, and watch me on the Wool Circle digging into lots of spinning techniques.
You can find me on Ravelry as rebbiejaye, and on Instagram as osbornfiber. You can reach me at osbornfiber@gmail.com.

Hi Rebecca, I came across your blog yesterday while looking for a video on drum carding and I like it very much. Had the internet existed when I was your age I probably would have written very similar things. I too believe in the profound connection between craft and the soul and could simply not be happy without a project! Best wishes to you and your family up there in the Great White North! (lived in Alberta for a while…)
P.S. Can’t get your mum’s link to work. Is it still live?

Hi Rebecca
I am sorry to say I have been blocked out of Spinning Staples and Slack.
I was re-evaluating my budget and cancelled my next sub payment but I was supposed to keep access until January 2025 as I paid the annual subscription and I no longer have email addresses for you or Rachel. I have contracted Patreon but hope one of you might be able to help sort out my access.
in friendship
Tina
