Welcome to Knotty Nana's Corner, a charming store nestled in the heart of Waldron, Michigan, at 132 South Mackinaw Street. This unique shop is the perfect destination for fiber enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates the art of spinning and handmade crafts. As a self-taught spinner, Nana began her journey with a drop spindle in the early-mid 90s and has since expanded her passion with the addition of her first spinning wheel in December 2022, followed by several more as she embraced the delightful "rabbit hole" of fiber arts. At Knotty Nana's Corner, you'll find a collection of handmade items crafted with love and care, each piece reflecting Nana's dedication to her craft. This site serves as both a journal and a blog, documenting her fiber adventures and offering a glimpse into her creative process. It is a place where she shares her experiences and occasionally offers her creations for sale.
