Hello, my name is Christina Penn. I live in Delaware. I came to the Americas from Holland with my family. We are in the cloth and clothes making business.

We brought our tools from Holland. We opened our shop, Seems Sew Easy, to provide the services of carding, spinning, weaving, knitting, and sewing wool. We have a wool carder. It is to clean and pull the wool to prepare it for the spinning wheel. The spinning wheel is to spin the wool into thread. The cloth maker or weaving loom is to weave the wool thread into cloth.
